We spent the day Friday touring around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. We went to the Minnehaha Falls.
There’s an outdoor art museum near Minneapolis.
Squirrels are everywhere.

We left Kennewick Tuesday morning. As we passed Sprague Lake, west of Spokane, we got splattered by a rainstorm of bugs.
Overall, we travelled 415 miles, including crossing the Continental Divide, and ended the day at Indian Creek RV Park and Campground in Deer Lodge MT.
Wednesday we travelled on to 7th Ranch RV Camp in Gerryowen MT.
Thursday morning we visited the Little Bighorn National Monument, the location of Custer’s last stand. Out in Washington, we never had any serious fighting, so we have no battlefields. It was interesting traveling the battlefield and seeing where the action took place, to see how the land itself played a part in the battle.
The rest of the day we travelled, through grey skies and rain showers, through Wyoming Mystery Mountain Resort in Rapid City SD.
This morning we visited Mt. Rushmore National Memorial.
After that visit we travelled on to Camp America Campground in Salem SD.
So far we’ve stayed in Good Sam campgrounds, and we’ve been very pleased with the quality and service. I think that we will continue to prefer Good Sam campgrounds as we travel.
Tomorrow we travel on to Apple Valley MN, our destination for this leg of our trip, where we have reservations at the Lebanon Hills County Park.

My contract at Boeing ended yesterday. Today we left home in Puyallup, Washington for the first stage of the new adventure that takes us east to Burnsville, Minnesota to see our oldest daughter and her husband.
Today we travelled from Puyallup to Kennewick, Washington to spend the weekend with Nikki’s mom.
It started out cool on the western half of the state, but once we got as far east as Cle Elum, it started getting warm. At the Selah Rest Area on I-82, we had perfectly clear views of both Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier.
Once we got here, we realized we forgot our passports. Since we plan to be living in the motorhome for six to nine months, partly in the south near the Mexican border, we need to have those passports. So our son is sending them ahead to us.
Nikki took this photo in Minnesota last October. Notice there is no ice to keep off of.
