TMM is right at 8-9 hrs door to door from here in Fargo. But I can assure you it is gonnnnnnna be a long dehydrated drive to and from his place! Last time I visited TMM I had to crawl home! He will heal ya with some of his choice beverages, you are going to be one hurt pup at work on Tuesday. Not sure exactly how it has happened but I have shared a pint or two with I think every single suspect on your proposed loop. Ain’t none of them scared to tip one back with ya! I think you are in for a great time!
