Alaska Trip - Day 1

Left from South Phillipa (South Bend, IN), took IN-2 to Federal Road 20. Joined I-94 and then I-90. Traffic jam through Chicago. Back on I-94. Drove through Madison and Minneapolis. Light mist and heavy rains in MN and ND. When it cleared up, everyone else fell asleep and I nearly dozed off, too. Drove through the night (til 0630). I don't think I have ever been so tired while at the wheel - there were times I was hallucinating... Saw deer, dead skunk - green northern lights in MN. In Grand Forks, ND, took I-29. Stopped near Fargo. Kept track of license plates. 13 hours driving, 850 miles, 3 tanks of gas, 33-28 mpg.
