A long drive from Bismarck, North Dakota to Minneapolis, Minnesota today. The drive was mostly on the I-94 interstate freeway, so it was very smooth, high speed limits and lots of Tesla superchargers along the way. The first three hours of the drive was through heavy rain, which was for the first time during the trip. It was nice to transition from the dry grasslands of North Dakota to the lush green trees and grasses in Minnesota, the land of 10000 lakes.
During the drive, I reflected a bit on all the different places I had been to over the past two weeks. I have enjoyed each day since it brought something different and unique. However, one thing is sure that my favorite days so far have been the ones in the big mountains of Mt. Rainier, Glacier and Rocky Mountain National Parks. The imposing mountain ranges, snow capped peaks, the lakes, the waterfalls, the rivers and creeks, the tall trees, the fresh air, all combine to create something magical. I can't get enough of it.
After the long drive, it was wonderful to reach my friends home in the Minneapolis area. After two weeks on the road, it was great to feel at home, enjoying their gracious hospitality and pampering. We had a relaxing evening, chatting away, relishing the home made Dosas paired perfectly with a 2012 Cabernet.
The raw numbers for the day:
- 450 miles driving, 2500 steps walking
- 4 Tesla supercharger stops
- 2 states - North Dakota, Minnesota
It was great catching up with you Suneel. Thank you for making the time / detour to swing by and see us.

"The imposing mountain ranges, snow capped peaks, the lakes, the waterfalls, the rivers and creeks, the tall trees, the fresh air, all combine to create something magical." Your poetic words are so true.
