which way to go?

We are on the eve of leaving for a week long vacation in Banff, Alberta Canada. We have decided to drive, altho we may be regretting that decision. Our plan has been to go thru North Dakota to Canada. Unfortunately the Fargo area is experienceing the flood of 2009 which has of this writing has exceeded the 1997 record. Yikes, Darin and I lived in Fargo at that time and know what a mess that can be. So if we go the alternate route up 35 thru duluth and to Winnepeg we add 3-4 hours more to our drive. Uggg. The raods in Fargo say no travel advise. They got hit with a storm this week too. So thats our delima today. Besides the normal headaches of trying to wrap up work things, the house, pack, pets, kids... We may just decide the minute we walk out the door depending on which way the wind blows .. ha
