HI guys.. got a slow connection here (28.8) at the hotel so I'm gonna make this one post and go..

We made it to Winnipeg today! Greetings from the Comfort Inn at 75 and 100!

We left Chicago at 5:25am and made into Winnipeg at 8pm.

En route we only saw one other G20 (right outside of Minneapolis area was a P11 dark blue one - 99 I think)... and 1 G35.. no other sightings yet!

..also 6 dead deer on the way in ... and plenty of dead bugs on the windshield..

The muffler started making noise.. it could get interesting... It'll be replaced in Seattle so it has a long way to go! Maybe it will get so loud that the wildlife will get scared away from potentially being in our way on the highway - LOL

Glad to hear that you could ease your G20.net withdrawl syndromes!

Good luck on the remainder of your trip.

The adventure! (why drive answer)

The scenery and because we can (the overall why answer)


...I guess kind of the same reason that folks climb mountains, because it's there and you can...

BUT... we had a REALLY close call with a Canadian Goose!!! Darn thing took off low right in front of us... had to brake HARD to not hit it... WE could see the whites of its eyes!!!!
