Well, it didn't seem like it was going to be possible, but somehow everything fell into place for me to leave Minnesota the actual day planned :) I can't believe it... It still hasn't totally hit me that I'm not going back, that this is not just a visit.
So, my friend Megan flew down from Alaska and is helping me on the trek back to Anchorage. We are currently in Edmonton, Alberta. This means that so far, we have been in two US states (Minnesota and North Dakota), and three Canadian provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta). So far the roads have been pretty good. We ran into an area where there was some slushy snow on the road, since the winds were high and they hadn't cleared that section. But other than that, we've had clear roads so far... wish us luck with the rest of the trek!
Our first night we were able to stay with a friend of mine from the Bahá'í World Centre, Ailsa, and her family. It was so nice! I got to meet her daughter Aleta and husband Dale for the first time, and it was really nice have a visit, even if it was short! Thanks for letting us stay!
We're on to Fort Nelson, BC, tonight, where we've been promised wireless as well - so hopefully I can get another update in.
Ciao for now,
Lindsay
