Alaska Trip - Day 20

Sleeping in rest area at 0700. Cathy didn't like the car and moved out on the grass around 0800 (with a sleeping bag). I missed the whole thing, but Eileen told me that a Trooper stopped in the rest area at 0900 and started to ask her about her intentions. "Miss, are you OK? Are you sure you are OK? It's not a good idea to sleep in a rest area - especially on the ground. There are lots of things that could happen to you! Are you sure you're OK?" I was really tired (still), so Eileen drove us over to Grand Forks after that. Visited her friend Sarah again for about an hour. She let me sleep until 1600 (that helped a lot). We went out to dinner with Sarah and her husband Tom. Left Grand Forks, ND, at 1930. Drove out on I-29 until we hit I-90 again. Drove until St. Cloud, MN (2300). Eileen called her mom while Cathy roamed around the hotel. She came back with stories about how she made friends with a drunk guy in the lobby.
