Good decision. Road trips are great. Did the drive from Indianapolis to Edmonton and back last year.
Should have some good scenery while driving through Montana. North/South Dakota not so much.
North Dakota is cool in certain parts on 94 the badlands is awesome to stop and see. Got to see Buffalo's in the wild very cool.
But you're right not much else to see. Montana was beautiful snowcap mountains. I never understood the phrase Big Sky Country till i saw it myself.
Take plenty of pics along the way there is plenty of awesome views.

Boring ol' South Dakota
Okay, maybe just North Dakota (at least the parts I drove). I wanted to drive through the Badlands on my way back but just added too much time.
I have some videos of sunset in the Badlands ND if anyone wants to check it out.
I'm down for splitting gas and driving. My bladder can go a tank of gas, no problem. I'll offer up my truck, but it only sits too comfortable. Three isn't horrible, four would be miserable.
Pretty sure you're gonna get punched by my wife in August. I apologize in advance.

I'm driving from Minneapolis if anybody wants to carpool.
When are you planning on leaving? I haven't decided if I am flying or driving yet.
Would probably leave late friday or really early Saturday morning.
I checked into flying and its pretty expensive. 500-600 hundred with 1-2 stops :shock:

I'm down for a roadtrip! I offer up my car -- it's a little hatchback, but the gas mileage is fantastic. Plus, I don't mind driving hours and hours on end down an desolate roadway ... I've driven to southern Illinois plenty of times!

That's a pretty good plan ... you've thought this through! :shock:
We should maybe find a campground to crash at ... I love camping, and it'd save some cash.

Alright then keep in touch
