The Great Crossing

July 7, 2017

Missy and I are departing Minnesota this weekend to make the crossing over the Great Plains of North America.

Thankfully, there is no chance of cold or snow.

Great Plains winter storm temperature cold hot crossingSunday is forecast to be a delightful 104 degrees. In fact, it appears that 100 degree temps are planned for the entire week – not a single snowflake in sight.

I don’t think I need to worry about using my tire chains or snow shovel. Phew…

However; if I do get caught by one of those surprise winter storms for which the Great Plains are known, I have my new cabinets, countertops, and bed frame to burn so I can stay warm so no worries there!

I plan to stay at a campground along the Missouri river for a week and then out to the Black Hills for another week.  At a minimum, it should be a character building experience.

Worst case, I make a run for high ground in Colorado or Wyoming!!
