1,676 mi (about 1 day 4 hours)

I am going to be driving from Minneapolis to Seattle in a couple weekends... Google tells me this trip is going to take me 1 day and 4 hours. That really seems like a ridiculous amount of time in a car (or a pickup truck, as the case may be). However this trip is well worth it, just think, I will get to see wonderful cities such as Fargo, Jamestown, Bismarck, Billings, and Butte!

OK, so this is not a sight-seeing trip. I am actually just a warm body to keep my friend Erin company during the long boring stretches (North Dakota) of her journey home from Wisconsin. I am flying into Minneapolis/St. Paul on Friday (Oct 27th) and then out of Seattle early Monday morning in time to make it back for work... hmm, I hope we don't hit too much snow.

Even more exciting than Belgrade, MT is that I am going to try to take this new blogging habit of mine on the road with me and try to make a few posts about the journey while on the road... yeah, I know, I am a nerd.

I think you should have only named cities starting with B's. I mean (aside from your departure and destination cities) you went 4 for 6. No need to include the ones people would know better than the others.

Hey Trevor, long time no talk (what, 8 years?). Anyhow, that should be a fun trip. Billings is beautiful. I'm actually in Seattle right now (the Judge I clerk for is hearing cases on the Ninth Circuit), and this is a great city. Though it is more cold than I had expected. Hope you're doing well!
