The North Dakota Wedding Odyssey Part 1

We left Friday at 2 or 3 and made it to Ritsville.  We've stopped here every time for the past three years because the hotels are cheap, there's always a room, and the local sports bar has good burgers and cold beer.  Last year, I took some really cool photos here (the train, the pepsi machine).  This year, I am just too f*ing exhausted to do anything.  We went to the bar, had a burger and a couple buds, watched a little North by Northwest and Shannon crashed.  I synced the wedding music playlists from my Zen to the PC (I have NO sympathy for those that don't back up thier data), now I'm blogging this and after a final glass of merlot I think I will hit the hay as well.

Tomorrow begins at 4 a.m.  I hope to cover most of Montana tomorrow, but I may slow myself down on purpose.  If I am not careful, we may hit Fairview on Sunday.  It's going to be chaos (parents + wedding = BOOM) so I might take a scenic route or two.  I will try to post pictures as we go, but contectivity is going to be hit and miss.  I hope to get DUN via my Samsung i730 while on the road but who knows?  If all else fails, I have a case of wine in the trunk and a few hours worth of MST3K's on the Zen.  I'm golden.

Join us, won't you?
