1999 I took a road-trip to Minot, North Dakota. Out of Enid Oklahoma up Highway 281 to Carrington, North Dakota then switched to Highway 52 to Minot. Headed north from OK on a Thursday evening, drove till two in the morning which got me way up into Nebraska. Catching a cat-nap on the side of the road continuing up Highway 281 North at the break of day.
