This is an eCard from Minneapolis. Totally unplanned. I got a bug at a conference and left early rather than cough on a bus. We ended up coming thru Minneapolis. Wife was following GPS and could not get into an exit to left because of traffic, so we went straight and got a night time tour of west and south Minneapolis. When we finally got to out motel on the south side I made a comment to the guy about the sphagetti highway plan. He said that there was one route that dumps you into a parking lot. Once on it, you could only go into the parking lot and pay the parking fee to get out and get back on the freeway. That happened to him three times before he learned better. Ah planning.

I would gloat that out west we do it better except if you are going north on I-17 and get off at Camp Verde for McDs, you can only right exit from McDs. One of those little concrete dividers keeps you from committing the sin of an uncontrolled left turn. So you go a mile to the first break in the safety divider. You can only go left - no Uturn. Then another mile and you can turn left into a shopping center to turn around and head back. One mile to get you back where a right puts the concrete divider on the left and after another mile (count them, four miles later) you pass McDs on the left.

Saw the park today. Damn it is huge and somewhat hilly. A long walk for someone on a cane, but I got some good pix. We toured all over Oslo, stopping and looking here and there, getting out and going in places. Five and a half hours. I am on the verge of exhaustion - Especially after 14 hours of flight time and hanging out at airports in Minneapolis, Keflovik, and Oslo. But I am going to get some good food, and buy and mail some post cards.

Don't forget to pack your spare Habit!!

Have a great trip!!

All I'd say is... You are aware you can literally drive all the way around a traffic circle, exiting in whatever direction you wish, and there is such a circle 500 feet from the McDonald's in said direction of 4 miles of driving.

Nice but those folks run a whole lot faster than I can roll....

WheelyCurious

The tour bus I was on could only turn right exiting McDs. Maybe there is a different exit or maybe they have added one of those infamous traffic circles since. I have not had a reason to go to that McDs since.

I wonder what McD's serves in Norway? Filet of Lutefisk?
