Beautiful Morning in Bismarck, North Dakota on the way to Tomah, Wisconsin
Tomo spent the night in Bismarck, North Dakota and rose to a beautiful, big blue sky.  He loves this kind of weather.  From Bismarck, North Dakota it is about 598 miles and a full days drive, 9- 10 hours depending on the conditions.  Estimated time of arrival is 9 pm.  
Near Camp Douglas, Wisconsin
On the way to Tomah, Wisconsin  on MN I-94



After a full day of driving he stopped 35 miles short of his destination to refresh himself.  Had a lovely shower which made him feel much better, then headed down the road to Tomah, Wisconsin.  His load of grain sugar was to be unloaded at 6 am CST so needed to get to bed so he could get an early start.  


At 6:15 am CST his truck was being unloaded and then he would find a nearby truckstop to rest until the office opened and the Traffic Manager would call and tell him his next destination.  


At Muscatine, Iowa Tomo picked up another load of furniture to be hauled to Edmonton, Alberta via Portal, North Dakota, Regina, Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Alberta and ending at Edmonton, Alberta.  


However, before he could pick up his trailer, he had to find it!!  One of their trailers was in repairs in Muscatine, Iowa and when Tomo went to pick up his trailer, the trailer they had waiting was not the right one!!  They argued that it was and Tomo spent time looking through the logs to find theirs, and finally going back over to the shop and looking in the repair yard, low and behold....there sits the trailer in question.  So hooking it up and taking it over to be loaded, finally got on the road rather later than he wanted.  (Sorry no photos as the camera man was bit grumpy!)  The worst word I heard was MORONS!!


Quick Snack time!  Good Stuff, num,num (yum,yum)
Heading to Albert Lea, Minnesota for the night.  That way Tomo can get an early Start in the morning with only 1.350 miles more to go to Edmonton, Alberta


Tomo is off in slumberland as I post.  Sweet dreams and safe roads ahead!
