leaving portage

1:10 pm.

after having some lunch we decided to go to brandon and have the team briefings there. 117 km, says the sign.

hopefully we'll have an easier time getting a wi-fi signal there. i mean, it's not like we're going to use it for illicit purposes--just a clearer indication of where to go.
as i type this i see jet stream cloud off to the north, indicating to me that that is where we'll likely go. we want to play the northern edge of the cap. chasing southeastward-moving storms is easier if you're southeast of them.

we just got a second look from some people in a passing vehicle. it was possibly because of the anemometer on the roof; but it could also have been because of the magnetic signs on our doors.

a relatively slow day, today. good for just starting out.
