Sightseeing on a working road trip?

You mentioned checking out corn planters. Southwestern Minnesota is full of planters on every dealers lot from 8 to 30 row plus.Not too expensive to own and not too much to have delivered so you can have fun going 70 mph instead of 30 on your return trip.
I bought a few down there over the years. One of the best dealers was Schlauderaff implements at Litchfield
Dealers seem to keep a lot of used inventory on their lots and it is relatively small farming country. Every grain farm either has hogs or a small business on the farm.
Heck better yet you could explain to your wife it would be in the farms best interest to take me instead. LOL. Although i doubt she would be laughing. Enjoy the trip.

Haukos Brothers in Glencoe MN is the place to go for planters. They generally have 100-120 on the lot

The added bonus of coming home through Mb. is you wont get dinged for pst , only gst on your stateside purchases

It’s stop number 3 on my “shopping list”👍

Is Draxxin any cheaper down there?

Not sure about that since up here you need a vet to sell it to you?

I shared this with her over lunch. She laughed but not taking you up on it.

Maybe next time😉

Well then, tell her that I think that is highly inconsiderate of her, because I think that you deserved a holiday too, but if she won't compromise, then I guess you will have to stay here and feed my cows, while I go with them on the road trip holiday.

Rushmore is impressive and its kind of a must see but for my money Crazy Horse is even more impressive. Same area, just a little further west. We've seen them both in the winter so I wouldn't stress about that. The bonus is you won't have to deal with crowds.

Got your travel insurance topped up and knowledge of DOT regs (I assume your pulling a trailer with you)? Those would be the only things I would worry about. MN and WI love their DOT.

We’re leaving Edmonton on Friday and ending up in Wisconsin to bring home a forage wagon and check out some corn planters as well. Probably going through Montana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota as well on the way down. Then through Manitoba and Saskatchewan on home. I got Mt Rushmore on the list to see but not much else so far. Any cool things to see along the way would be greatly appreciated. The crew cab will be full with the Mrs and both kids😉

I’ve only driven to Billings MT and Yorkton before so this will be quite an adventure. Should be over 5500 km total. Only decided yesterday to do this......... we’ve always been last minute travellers.

TIA

If you're taking I90 from Billings through to Mt Rushmore you'll be going near Devil's Tower in north east Wyoming just east of Gillette. Quite interesting place was featured in movie Close Encounters

Mount Rushmore,
Devils tower,
Badlands in the Dakota's,
All good. Just have to drive past to enjoy if no time to stop.
You will most definitely want to stop in Albertville MN. Unbelievable outlet mall there. Plan to stop there for a few hours of shopping.
