| May 6 Ashby, MN/Minot, ND Departed at 8:19 AM in 53 degrees. This is such flat land with nothing but an occasional oasis with a house, barm, grass and some trees; a tiny little postage stamp in the middle of a “gazillion” acres. The wind has blown fiercely all day and nearly knocked Richard over while refueling somewhere in ND. He describes ND as miles and miles of black earth, blacker than charcoal. And I say the view on either side is unremarkable with breaks of boredom! Found the Roughrider Campground in Minot inhabited mainly by oil crews and construction workers building homes for the oil crews. An interesting grouup. Two men slept in their car last night parked behind the trailer next to us. The park was flooded last year with 8’ of water and they are just digging out. It is less than beautiful with much cleanup and new construction for camping spots going on. The wind continued to rock and roll us all evening but slowly abated some time in the night. 390 miles today, now totaling 1714 miles. |
