My First US Trip

So,,i took my load down to Iowa City,cleared customs at Emerson,took 5mins,drove down to fargo then headed East towards Miniapolis. Stopped at a truck stop in Fergus Falls and ate my first roast Bison,speciality of the house and bloody yummy.
Set of early the next day in freezing temps and driving snow...Woo Hoo... this is fun. Rounded the twin cities and headed south then east towards Cedar Falls then down to Iowa City.
It snowed and blew allday,,,think i'm going snow blind ,,Entererd the city limits,and wished i'd hadn't.
Found a low bridge !!!!! an unmarked low bridge to boot,,,Oh bugger,,,and stopped dead in my tracks....this really pissed of the locals,,,which i enjoyed,, as it was now rush hour. I looked at the bridge from every angle,when a police car arrived,,, the young Cop asked me "what are you doing stopped in the middle of the road????" i just pointed up "Oh dear" he said " i'll radio in"
In best Starsky and Hutch style 2 more police cars arrived with inforcements,plus the Sargent!!!!
He said "that their bridge is 16 feet high" i replied " no it aint,plus its not marked any where" and "i'm only 13.6 foot high" so with the help of 4 policemen i crawled under the bridge with half an inch to spare and thats with dumping my air bags... i then listend to the sarge giving some official at town planning a real mouthful i thanked them all and got a police escort to my point of delivery...Hats of to the Iowa City police...
Unloaded at an ungodly hour 02.30 hrs....dont they know i need my beauty sleep ,,,then set of to Pittsville in Wisconsin for the reload...that was a lovly drive on backwater roads,no freeways,no traffic and loverly scenery,rolling snow coverd hills through little villages,an absolut pleasure to drive,even with the icy roads..





Stopped in a smallish town for a hearty breakfast,hell i sound like Lyndon here and only paid 5$ for it.. It took me almost 6hrs to arrive at my pick up point,and was loaded in double quick time,papers in hand and ready to roll within the hour i headed again cross country to Mineappolis then onto the 94 heading towards Fargo,and because i enjoyed that Bison so mutch i stopped again in Fergus Falls and chomped my way through another steak.
Woke that morning to a minus 29c,,,that aint funny when you gotta take a leak,,
A 4hr drive upto the border,which i crossed in 5mins and drove to the yard,called the boss on the way to put the coffee,,which she did, arrived back at the farm to warm coffee and my paycheck..Woo Hoo..
