I kicked butt today
Gillette, Wyoming to Rochester, Minnesota in 10.25 hours of driving time- 708 miles. That's hauling ass in a truck, and I didn't break any laws to do it. The speed limit is 75 in Wyoming and South Dakota and 70 in Minnesota. I can still drive another 45 minutes legally, but I found a good place to stop and I don't need to push it to the edge.

I need to be in Cincinnati at 7am on Monday, so I needed to put in a big day today after running a leisurely 1050 miles the previous two days.

1. Welcome to Minnesota!
Enjoy your stay! :hi:

You probably won't ever get up my way, but if you come to Duluth, let me know!

2. Duluth is at the North Pole, right?
:D

Yeah, I doubt I'll ever get up there, but if I do I'll give you a holler.

3. Well, I'm even farther up than Duluth.
But every once in awhile I hitch up the sled dogs and come in for supplies. :)

4. Good for you, my dear Tobin!
You might as well take advantage of the times when you feel like flying along and the speed limits are in your favor!

How long will it take you to get to Cincinnati?

Have fun!

6. It's probably another 650 miles to Cincinnati
But the speed limit will drop to 65 the rest of the way after I leave Minnesota so I'm probably looking at another 11 hours.

I'm getting read yo start my day now.
