Holy Molly!! I wasn't expecting this. Not knowing how bad the forecast may be, I got on the road sooner than I had planned, if I had a plan. ;^)
The weather was not that bad, so to make life exciting I spent most of the trip chatting with friends and taking pictures while I drove.
The further north I drove, the warmer the weather became. I arrived at the Minneapolis Hyatt in clear skies and parked my little Otto among the large trucks at the unloading area.
In about 2 hours time I was done unloading and setting up my booth items.
I had a relaxing dinner with Jim Thibodeau and retired to my room. I felt a full day behind me and wanted to be rested for my 8:30am presentation the next morning.
