Venture Northward!

I'm heading northward for a get together with some friends. It'll take approximately 20 minutes shy of 3 hours to drive about 50 miles less then what it takes to go to the Twin Cities. If you're good it takes a little over 2 hours to get to the cities. You got to love northern Minnesota driving... well, actually anything other then I35 can be a pain... & even then... It's almost 10 years into the 2000s, where are the damned fling cars?!
