Into the Land of 10,000 Lakes

Leaving North Dakota, we made a lunch stop in Jamestown, ND to see the world’s largest buffalo. Jamestown is also Jill’s father’s home town so she remembers the buffalo from when she was s little girl visiting family. She doesn’t think any of the living cousins still live there. Just before this stop, we were passed by a dozen or more modern Chevy Camaros that looked to be traveling together in some kind of road trip as they all used the same exit from I-94. Just as we were ready to make a tight turn at the parking lot where we had stopped to see the big buffalo, all the Camaros roll in, making it difficult to make our turn. We continued on, through Fargo, crossing into Minnesota. Jill asked if we needed gas and began looking at the Gas Buddy app. Les said not Costco because they don’t have windshield washing tools. But then the Costco we just past was at $2.56 and most everything ahead is at $2.84. Opps, we will look for gas when we move on from Buffalo River State Park where we are staying at least tonight. On a side note, in North Dakota, we started to see some odd looking camp trailers. When they are on the move, they have a LOT of clearance above the tires, but when parked, they lower down and the skirt around the trailer sits on the ground. It turns out, that here in the far north where the lakes freeze and ice fishing is popular, these special trailers become ice fishing shacks.Read more
