But they did, and they caught the gist of my call - once I slowed my speech down a hair. At this point, I had been awake for over an hour, and had only slept a few hours since planning out a generic idea - so between my ADD, the excitement of hitting the road, and my trusty morning Diet Mountain Dew seeping into my veins, I was FAR too awake and animated for my parents to be answering the phone from a dead sleep. And they like to sleep in, so I was pushing my luck at 8am. Stiffy was game, my dad was sound asleep (as a normal human should be in the middle of the night) when the memo came through, so when I woke up in the morning, I called my parents.
So at midnight the night before I was going to hop on the bike and roll out, I sent a text message to my dad and to Stiffy - laying out my half-assed idea and seeing if they would want to join in on the fun. My parents live in northern MN - seeing the weather prediction of highs in the upper 70's, in northern MN, in September - that's a rare occurrence. And just south of there is a 'Tornado Boat in Tree' - all quirky roadside attractions with the sole purpose of a laugh and a picture. Just north of there is the US's biggest Apple. Stopping at the Plywood Palace in northern WI is high on my list of stuff I want to see and experience. Not wanting to waste a perfectly good 2 days, I researched various places - and by research, I mean, I wrote down the city and the predicted forecast. It seems so long ago now, but in recent weeks there really was WARM and SUNNY weather in the Midwest.
