Flying into B1G country (MN)
« on: January 29, 2026, 11:20:56 PM »
Well, we found a truck/equipment we need for our business. It’s in Minnesota. 

Flying into MSP ( Minneapolis/St Paul) Friday night, then going about 1-1.5 hrs East, then hopefully everything checks out and we’ll drive home Saturday-Sunday 

Never been further North than CO or KS. 

Looks like we’re going to hit MN, Iowa, Nebraska. Never been to any of those. Then probably Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. 

Monday is going to suck.

um...if you go 1 to 1.5 hours east of Minneapolis,  you'll be in Wisconsin too.

He's hoofing it from the airport to the truck place.

Heck, for that matter I’m not far (relatively speaking) from Canada. But we’re on a limited timeline, as it stands driving from MN back to Texas in ~2 days in a single cab truck is going to be…long.

I'd fly up there and then hire somebody to do it and fly back.

Why the rush? On my 6 coast-to-coast road trips I was glad to take my time on the more minor highways, immersing myself in the roadsides of fly-over country. Granted it isn't an ideal time of year for hitting the road, and the two worst snowstorms I've ever travel through were in Iowa in winter, but still, take a few more days if you can.

Picture I took of a grain elevator outside Hastings Nebraska in 2018:

It’s not a vacation, it’s a work trip. 

The main driver is that my son needs to be back at work at least Monday. 
I can take off Monday if needed but I don’t want to burn vacation.
