This has been a delightful day.
We are now in Mountain Time.
My truck feature of this post: My lighted mirror.
I love taking pictures in the early morning.
The Minnesota lakes and farmlands were beautiful today.
This driver had a challenge ahead of him. He was on the construction crew and had to do a u-turn.
This was our first time ever to be in North Dakota.
It is nice to drive with the sun on our back.
Now we’re truckin’!
…and I thought it was challenging to take pictures at 65 miles an hour.
These two hills in the middle of a flat and rolling hill landscape made me smile. I just imagined God putting them there like I would make a pile of sand by letting it run through my hands.
This probably looks disgusting to you, but it doesn’t take many hours for the windshield to look like this. Cerwin cleaned the windows before we started today, and at 9 a.m. when we stopped for breakfast. This is what the window looked like shortly after noon.
It becomes challenging to take pictures.
Bales and windmills.
A Gary Greff sculpture.
Geese in Flight went up in 2001, next to the Gladstone exit — and it is claimed to be the World’s Largest Outdoor Sculpture.
We saw several yellow fields in one area, but have not discovered what it is.
We saw a few oil wells.
We saw by the map that this was ahead of us, but were not prepared for its beauty.
Montana – the last state for the day.
If I remember correctly, this is called Yellowstone River.
Our stopping place for tonight is Glendive, Montana. We’re in a small truck stop with a very busy restaurant. And I have Internet in the truck. 🙂
While we were enjoying supper (Cerwin a chopped steak meal and me a BLT), a young driver pulled his chair up to our table and asked if we were with the chapel. Thus began an hour-long talk about the Lord. He had never heard of TFC, so I showed him a PowerPoint presentation that I keep on my computer. After praying with him (in a very noisy restaurant), I gave him a copy of TFC’s Highway News and Cerwin showed him inside the chapel. It was refreshing to meet someone who is committed to following Christ.
love seeing your pictures! my guess on the yellow stuff is canola.
prayer for a safe 4th coming your way!
Glad that you are enjoying the pictures. Canola is the only thing I thought of too, but I am not sure.
Wow! What a beautiful part of the country you are in!
Yes, it is beautiful.
The yellow fields would be Canola Fields.
That is what I am hearing from others. Thanks for adding to the concensus.
I love trucking along with you and Cerwin — what a neat trip to see the landscape from your perspective! Something I’ve always thought would be fun to do ….
Thank you. Have a wonderful 4th of July.
Enjoying your trip! My dad had a good friend who lived in Glendive. He had gotten to know Morris Kauffman when they were in CPS together.
