Destination: Reno, NVEnd of Day Odometer: 72,413km Progress Map: Making the most of our not-too-terrible hotel in Fortuna, we grabbed some breakfast that included ham, potatoes and hard-boiled eggs.

Destination: Bismarck, ND State Count: 27End of Day Odometer: 347,470km Progress Map: Today was another truckin’ day, basically trying to get close enough for our drive to Great Falls tomorrow to be relatively reasonable, possibly leaving us with a bit of time to mess around in Great Falls before the night is out.
