Well we got away at 6:00 am as planned. So, off we went. It was cold and dark and who wants to be on the road at that time, except those that have to go to work. There was not much traffic anywhere on the roads. The boarder crossing was no problem and very quick.
Usually the thing we are looking for as we head out on our winter vacation is "Brown Grass", which means no more snow. Today we acheived that as soon as the sun came up. I'm sure the feilds were clear in Manitoba as well, but it was still dark when we went through there.
All in all it was a great day to travel. The sun was shinning, the roads were dry, and not too much traffic. We made our way all the way thru the Wisconsin Dells and will loop past Chicago tomorrow morning.
