Day 212 – North Dakota Sampler (Part 2)

Day 212 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I failed to mention some interesting sights yesterday, the first being during long waits due to road construction.  As we were all waiting for the flagger to wave us on, it was mostly truckers and me, I was debating rolling down VANilla’s window and turning off the engine.

As I glanced toward the driver side mirror, I noticed a trucker, probably mid forties, brown hair, sunglasses, periwinkle blue T-shirt and jean shorts step out of his cab, sidle into the space between his cab and trailer and assume the position necessary to relieve himself.  I thought surely this isn’t the case. But as he looked from side to side and turned back toward his cab while zipping his fly, my suspicion was confirmed!  Not too much further up the road, as I entered the town of Alexander, I was greeted with a billboard listing the Ten Commandments! Anyway, it was an interesting day.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
