Wall Drug and Sioux Falls, SD

Long day today at 527 miles. While I will routinely plan a 500 mile day, stopping at Wall Drug for two hours, and then losing an hour with the time change from Mountain to Central, made it long. I was on the road by 7am this morning, and stopped at this Loves Truck Stop in Sioux Falls, SD., at 7:30pm. Gas here was 3.39/gallon, and with my app, $3.26. Cheapest gas along my route home. So I filled the boat up here. 75 gallons to top off the 100 gallon tank. As usual, I enjoyed my stop at Wall Drug for lunch, and to walk around the grounds a bit.
I need to learn that when something doesn’t work on the boat, always check the wiring behind the helm before I start pulling things apart. C-Traveler’s water pump worked fine this morning, but wouldn’t work this evening. I carry a spare pump, so pulled out the working pump, only to find out that electricity wasn’t making it back to the pump. Some more checking and I found the wire had come off the switch behind the helm panel. Not that that has happened before…. Anyway, it’s working good again. Only 440 miles to home, so I should be home by early tomorrow evening. Forgot to mention yesterday, my pickup turned over 100,000 miles soon after leaving Coeur d’ Alene.Baca lagi
