Back in February, we committed ourselves to a ride from Orondo WA over US 2 to Duluth (and then four days of riding in Northern Wisconsin).
The ride is scheduled to start on July 9 (fairly easy days) and had us planning to RON on the third night in Minot. The RON itself is now patently impossible--I can't imagine, given the dimensions of the flooding, that there's anyplace available.
My question is about US 2 itself. According to the ND DOT maps, 2 appears to be closed at the moment east of Minot; there may be other places with water on the road as well. Is there anyone on the forum with insights in the passability of US 2 in that area in a week? Or do we just plan to swing south according to the ND DOT detour maps?
Thanks
