Made it to Sioux Falls about 2 pm local time. Traffic was light and traveling was pleasant except for a near miss with a bathroom emergency. The public waysides were all closed in Minnesota due to a state government shut down. The closures shut down our options for an easy restroom stop. Yikes! I never knew how few gas stations can be found on I-90 in Minnesota. Each exit is at least 15 miles apart with no guarantee of a place to stop. Things got dicey, but luckily, we made it to a Texaco station before complete disaster struck. The trees along the roadside were starting to look pretty good.
Only saw one State Trooper in Minnesota (rare) and also noticed that a road construction project looked abandoned (no workers on the scene; lots of empty trucks and abandoned equipment).
We're getting sporatic light rain showers here in Sioux Falls. Should be clearing up shortly.
Hot Summer Nights is due to begin at 6 pm.
