The NT no longer goes through Minot, and for darn good reasons.

I think I may set up Miles City as a go, no-go point where if I make it to there by a certain date, I'll continue on to MPLS and if I don't or don't want to I'll end there and bus it home. I really want to tour that part of the west away from the interstates and major towns. I think I'll take Hwy 12 like Jamawani suggested because I like the road less traveled and figuring things out without set expectations and locals not being used to seeing bikes all the time.

Perhaps it is not a problem going 1800 miles in 30 days. I went from south Florida to Bangor, Maine in 22 days total and 20 days on the road. That was more than 1800 miles. If you run into a period of nasty weather or strong adverse winds, it could reduce your mileage significantly.
