Bismarck, North Dakota

weird is not the word. maybe wild. maybe freaky.
SNOW greeted us in Richardton, North Dakota this morning.
thick wet snow.
not in the tent thank god.
we drove late and stayed at the Ray Bem Motel (its own story).
now we are in Bismarck.
so many stories, so little internet!

our plans are in a twist with tornado warnings,
damaging hail possibilities but certain rain predicted.
just spoke to our northern correspondents in Flin Flon
where it is "cool" (which for them is in the 30s or 40s) but
not wet. onward.
