 tires We got tires Lee, Minnesota spent the night here About to get going We want to make it to my not north dakota tonight to the Shats Crossroad truck stop. That's the goal if we get further than that Good for me. If not, well, that's our goal if we don't make it there Then I failed Setting goals for myself Taking these tires just a scratch one someone in Saskatchewan Wants these I'm bringing them to him when the air pressure in here is equalized And I forget and then I slam the door. It's nice walking up to a truck. That's clean Have had a chance to wash it as often as I wanted to this week. So we got it done yesterday here at the Petro They did a pretty good job. I Had to wipe it down after again the wheels and stuff They still had a little bit of grime on them, but you know, I'm a little bit picky too One second. I got to clean my looker so I can see where I'm going That's not these little wet nap things Like I was telling you earlier, we want to get to my not north dakota today That'll be just under 600 around 600 miles just under maybe just under a thousand kilometers It'll be a full day Full day, it'll be a good day. I mean the weather's overcast We might run through some rain today. We'll see hopefully not but better rain than snow, right spring for the seatbelts It doesn't get sucked in there. It's fast anymore. My pickup truck does the same thing. My vehicle I drive the seatbelts always gets I gotta tell the government that I'm fueling now They're very nosy Well, I found a decent parking spot in the back corner Where I'll be safe in St. Cloud here So I decided I'm gonna stay here because I looked up on Google and around Alexandria pilot right now There's a whole ton of construction and all the roads leading to it are closed You got to go way around just to get to the pilot I would feel more comfortable parking there. I like that neighborhood and area better But well, I found a safe spot here So I'm gonna go for a bit of a walk. They got a nice trail. They just recently repaved. Which is nice And this goes all the way down the street here and then it goes down around behind here into those bushes back there And sort of goes along the river or close to the river It's like a little nature walk once you get to the end of this section here I'll show you Get the blood pumping a bit and try to get back in the habit of walking every day Once we're done our walk, we'll have a shower And we'll book it to my not so that road we were walking down is back there Which aren't this way to come around here just in case you got tempted, you know We're still in town The town's just back here and there's a river that runs down there I'm not sure what it's called. I could probably look it up on Google now Probably something like St. Cloud River or something. Oh, it says oh Mississippi River That's a famous river, isn't it? Does that go all the way down to Mississippi? Well, we're way up here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This path goes around Down along the bush there that way and then through that bush back there And then it loops you back right out by pilot Nice little loop, what a breeze is nice I'm not really in walking attire, but I'm in trucker attire Walking trucker what so nice out here trying to keep my pace up To a brisk speed walk or burn some of this fat off. I also I don't want to run nice brisk walk You know just get the blood pumping get the heart pumping some fresh air See the scenery a bit But also, you know, I want to get this done as fast as I can. I want to shower and get back to trucking Well that path looks fun This I believe goes right down to the river. I don't think I want to go down to the river I don't think this loops back. I'm gonna have to stop and check the map all kinds of trails another trail goes in there Down there. It's be fun to have like a mountain bike bike around in here Or just you know two feet in heartbeat walk around I'm doing It's not that far down to the river See it over there. I decided to keep going this way. I'm gonna see if it loops back around to the main trail over there There's some kind of gazebo coming up here just in case you want to stop for a picnic. I Guess the trail ends here. Oh wait. No it goes this way now. Okay. What's this? It's another trail that leads down there. Oh It's a cliff. Yes Okay And there's the water This is a really neat trail system Wonder what's down here. That's cool. Well goes right down to the water. I bet You know, I know I'm going the wrong way here. This is going away from where I want to be So let's save this for next time. Let's go explore that next time We'll continue this way. I believe this path Well, this is going in the direction. I want to go because the main trail is over there So we're going that way. This is neat Look at that tree Wow, that would be so fun to climb. That's a perfect tree for a tree house I want a tree like that in our backyard one day. The fence here Wow, looks like people go down there regularly this little trail Kind of wish I would have brought my swim trunks now. I'm just going there for a quick dip Gotta keep trucking. We got a job today. So many forks in the road This way when that way we want to go This way Or that way Let's go this way See what happens Well, we found the trail back on the main trail. Nice That worked out. We made it back There's a little blue So I'm just gonna grab my shower bag Go inside have a shower and then we'll be out of here Showered up ready to go. This parking lot is chaos So glad I got this safe spot here, but now there's someone new back and in beside me and It's gonna let him get into a spot and I'll be out of here Nice straight shot right in beside me, but soon as he's in place I'm out of here. I really don't like stopping here. It's just it's a very busy place Very busy But it worked for today. We got a good walk out of it. I really like that walking trail So chances are I'm probably gonna stop here again If I can get a good spot like this like early in the day just to go for my walk I have a shower and go and I kind of like that that trail All right, buddy straight back. Don't overthink it too much straight back You got it. You got it Straight straight straight nice nice Good all blue marked safe Let's get out of here before someone else comes and hits me Hours and 36 minutes left on my 14 hour good stop. I couldn't have gone any better The body feels good because I got a little active today Wasn't much, but I think I walked about two miles For the major stops today. Now let's just go go go to my not or further Stopping for bathroom breaks We got to keep going We are gonna stop in at the truck stop there for a bite to eat in the coffee It's quarter to nine at minute or two I changed my mind. I'm gonna stop at Shats crossroads here in my not anyway I made it to my goal Let's hope I can find a parking spot here I'm getting tired. Let's see if I can find anything. No Karen. I changed my mind Plus I get to do that if I want to 100 meters turn left on 20th Street and then turn right in 40 meters off the cab It's pretty hot out here some blasting the AC a little bit Then I'll shut the truck off and go to bed back a little further crazy US 52 the highway that we take from Northportal to the the I-94 Had some crazy construction on it. It was dark out. I didn't know what was going on It was like a mud road all of a sudden. It was terrible I Don't know if they well They have to know that this route is the main road for all like international truck traffic like me coming from Saskatchewan, Alberta To anywhere in the Midwest of the United States or Eastern United States all those trucks come through here So it was a ton of heavy trucks coming through right? construction zone that was like three or four miles and The road was completely gone. They had ripped the entire road out and it was just soft dirt and mud With huge like ruts from the trucks like me that are coming through here fully loaded Just big growth. I thought I might get stuck This is US 52 a major state highway out here I was surprised by that, but we made it through and good thing. Everything was dry Looks like old blue didn't pick up too much dirt from that, but And if it was raining hard that would have been a muddy mess Right here in my not tomorrow and we'll cross the border deliver these tires into lying banks of Saskatchewan And figure out what we have going on after that Take care everyone don't forget to subscribe make sure you're subscribed and leave me comment down below and I'll see you tomorrow
