15 May – Sun Shine in Minnesota

Much better travel conditions today.  Sun shinny, a little wind.

(Delayed entry –  we need to find WiFi hot spots to make entries and check email while in Canada)

Continue up I-94 through Minnesota. Hilly country into North Dakota.

Just west of Fargo (Jamestown) pick up US-52 west (north) and follow it all the way to the boarder.

Lot of water – ND was hit by heavy rains and most of the low lying fields are under water.  We went by a KOA in Minot, ND that the office was out in the middle of a lake. They sandbagged the office, but everything else was under water.

Crossed the Canadian-US border at Portal

WOW – Night and Day – immediately when crossing you see Oil drilling rigs, mining operations.  Maybe someday we’ll actually drill for oil in the United States.

 

ALSO –  The Roads in Canada SUCK –  With $5.50 /gallon gas, they should take some of that road tax money and fix the roads (felt like we are in some areas of Mexico)

Followed CA-39 north.  took a couple detours to Ragina, then back to Moose Jaw.

Spent the night in a very quite Roadside rest just off CA-11 and CA-2 (Arm River) .

We haven’t looked for any campgrounds yet, no need to.

SUNDAY – 808 miles traveled, average 13.5 mpg,
