Today's drive up to central Minnesota was beautiful. I noticed a lot of traffic heading back into the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN area. Everyone must have had a great weekend up north.
I made the mistake of following the directions (per the company) to Brainerd, MN verbatim. I should have taken a slightly different route which would have shaved at least 15-minutes off of the total time it took me to get there.
Found a A&W root beer stand (part of a truck stop) in Little Falls, MN (Sometimes you gotta have a beer--root beer that is!). This location, by the time I got there in the evening, was running out of all sorts of product. In addition, their root beer was producing mostly foam from the tap. They had to fill a pitcher and then scoop all of the foam out in order to make my root beer float. Even so, it was worth the wait!
Tomorrow I'll have 3-stops total (2 delivery locations further north of Brainerd). Then I'll turn around and retrace my "steps" towards home.
