Fort Ransom State Park

After leaving the Plains museum we took one more quick stop in Fargo at the visitor center. I need to remember to hit these note often because if there is a good staff working they can give you great hints about locations to visit. Picked up several brochures for our visit to North Dakota. We will pretty much be driving due west on I-94. I don't normally like taking the intestates, but frankly with the RV and jeep it is sometimes just easier, usually less stress, and these roads are in much better shape typically than county roads!

Drove west and dropped south to Fort Ransom for the night. It is located on the Sheyenne River and it is part of a scenic drive I wanted to take tomorrow. So way out in the middle of nowhere. Apparently this is the season for lady bugs and one other flying hard shelled insect. So it's just Tom and I, two other campers and a ton of lady bugs. We have to keep the windows closed, because the screens weren't quite right enough to keep them out. We do have electricity, so we have air conditioning, it was in the high 70s today. It's disk now, so much cooler and the lady bugs seem to have dissipated... thank goodness they aren't mosquitos!Read more
