BINGO

Bagged one of two so now we only need a ND t-shirt for our goal.  We had a little bit of fun on our way through Saint Paul.  We were northbound on I-35E and there were signs that told us that loads over 9,000 lbs were not permitted ahead of us.  I assumed they would have an overweight detour but that wasn't the case and we finally came to an exit that said all loads over 9,000 lbs must exit.  Since we are about 24,000 lbs I did exit and ended up on some city streets.  Ms Navi tried to help us and found a route that connected back to I-35E northbound a few miles further ahead so I thought we would be fine.  When we got to the on-ramp there was a sign that said no loads over 9K so that was not an option.  We resorted to paper maps and found a numbered state route over to the outer, outer loop which allowed us to get back on track with only a little delay.

We are settled now for four nights and will find something to do to enjoy this area, hopefully with some cooler temperatures.
