Yesterday was chore day. Judy called a local Lutheran Church in Laurel, was told the service starts at 10am (just like the sign in front of the church said), we arrived a little before 10am......as church was ending! Ha Ha on us. We did the laundry and I washed the bugs off the trailer front cap. We did a little visiting with other campers and that was it.
Today we drove 290 miles to Bowman, ND. Half the trip was on I94 and the last half on US12. There are still some hefty looong hills in southeast Montana! I wanted to do some traveling on the secondary roads and US12 fits the bill. No road shoulders or cell service if we should have a problem. One 15 mile stretch of US12 was a meat grinder & we are glad the rig didn't bounce apart. The land is starting to flatten out into long rolling hills & lots & lots of nothing up here. There are BIG farm fields all over. We are in a nice 100 or so site CG (no water or sewer) maintained by the city, we are the 3rd rig in the entire CG. We arrived about 3pm and are sitting comfortably in the A/C, 84 & sunny outside. We stopped for fuel 30 or 40 miles back so didn't disconnect the truck, it's the first time this year we haven't. Lots of bugs on the trailer & truck. Bummer!
We have seen some unexpected animals out here, in Wyoming there was one field that had bison & 5 camels. In Montana we saw several white pelicans on the Madison River, & today we saw two zebras on the Montana North Dakota border. I wasn't expecting to see those critters around here.
