Awake: 6:25am Temp 58 sleep 6+40 cloudy elevation 2305 ft
overnight @ Medora, North Dakota.
@ the Amphitheater last night, we talked with the couple sitting next to
us: Arnold & Marietta from Manitoba, Canada, who we found out are also
staying @ the campground. They questioned us about our “full time”
lifestyle & travels during our wait time for the musical to begin.
This morning as I am cleaning water off the slide tops from the heavy rain
last night, a fellow walks over from across the street & it’s Arnold, our
musical neighbor of last night. We chat for a few minutes & discuss the
border crossing routine going into Canada. Later, he brings us an outdated
road map of Canada & soon the 4 of us are gabbing away. Nice people. They
live in Rossburn…..maybe 70 miles south of the area we will be visiting.
We leave the Medora Campground @ 11:02am. We have a destination campground
picked out but no cell phone coverage to call in advance. So far on I-94,
our cell phone coverage has been nil. We thought perhaps driving thru the
Capital city of Bismarck would surely bring cell coverage, NOT!
We arrive @ our destination: “A Prairie Breeze RV Park @ 2:35pm Central
Time. The registration office was a small 5’X 8’ open shack & the
campground is an open farm field. They don’t take reservations & Dwayne,
the campground host, tells us that business is good. Besides having long
pull thrus’, full hookups, easy off-easy on, they have new bathrooms &
showers. And the price was right. Today’s travel: 2+34 time 148 miles
17.3 gal used 8.6 mpg 57.3 avg speed.
7:05 dinner: Sword fish, broccoli with roasted red peppers & spinach salad.
After dinner, we take a 30 min walk around the campground & a dirt road
across the street from the Prairie Breeze campground. A small weekend
rally (local chapter of Good Sam Club) was being held @ the west end of
this campground so we stopped & visited with them for awhile.
Back to our coach where we do some late night reading.
High temp=75 Lights out: 12:13am
