Alaska Bound: Day 4

We made it to Billings, Montana, but not without driving straight through Winter Storm Atlas in Bismark, North Dakota. There were many patches of blowing snow on the road which turned into slush making our trip quite trying. We took our time and at points only went 35 MPH but made it here safely. Unlike many tractor trailers, cars and trucks in the median of which an idiot trying to pass me joined them. He was directly beside me cruising at a clipping pace when his Avalanche (ironic, I know) kicked out and he went flying into the median. Lucky for us, he went left and not right, into our trailer. My steering wheel now has hand grips.
It was beautious as we hit Montana and we could see the amazing mountains once we hit Billings.
The Rimrock was all around Billings making the landscape more exciting than all those flat states.


On to Butte tomorrow where we'll play for a couple days.
To end the day, I'll sing you a little song... "Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play..."
Boring update of the day: 42 US State License Plates and 4 Canadian Provinces that we've seen thus far.
