If you read yesterday's post you know we are heading home, we will be traveling long days covering 2200 miles in four days (Hopefully) As you can see from the number above we are off to a good start. At 6:30am we said a very sad goodbye to Mark and Karen and started home.
Planning the route home I found a Elks Lodge in Bismarck that allows RV's to dry camp (no electric, water or sewer) in their parking lot so that was our target.
We made several quick stops along the way, both for bathroom breaks and to stretch our legs. One of the stops was for fuel, what a mistake! The entrance to the gas station was so rough two cabinets and the refrigerator opened. Corelle and pyrex make a big mess when they shatter, add in a exploded container of applesauce and a can of Diet Pepsi and it gets even messier!!
Around 2:30 I saw signs for a rest stop that was also a scenic overview, and quickly pulled over. It turned out to be the visitor's center for Painted Canyon part of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We spent about 15 minutes walking around enjoying the view, before getting back in the RV and "admiring" the view from the windshield.
About an hour from the Elks Lodge we passed two RV's that looked like they were traveling together. I easily passed the first one, but the second one, kept speeding up as I got along side him. Finally I floored it and passed them. At that point Angel & I wondered if they were heading to Elks also. Shortly after pulling into the Elks who pulls in but the same two RV's. We spent some time talking to the lady from the first RV, She spends most of the year traveling by RV and they were traveling together.
After a quick dinner at the Elks we headed back to the RV for some sleep. Our goal for Wednesday is Black River Falls Wisconsin. It is about an hour east of Minneapolis.
