Go, See, Do, Experience!
The Williston, North Dakota, city event webpage is one of the best laid out information given that I have ever seen. Among the other things we found, and did, (see last week's post) I saw Sweetcorn & Quilt Festival. Of course “quilt” caught my eye! Turns out this is a youth camp that started in...

Continuing to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail, our Travel Day took us from Riverdale, North Dakota to Williston, North Dakota. I read out loud our new book that we bought after being at Fort Mandan last week. It is Waheenee, an Indian girl’s story told by herself to Gilbert L Wilson back in 1920s.... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader: I have a question for you and would like your feedback in answer. The question is at the end of this blog post. GUESS WHAT: 1/2 way of the Missouri River is Bismarck, ND, at 1170.5 miles. Full length of that river is 2341 miles. We continue to see prairie land, flat land... Continue Reading →
Check in is at 4:00 p.m. at Corps of Engineer’s Left Tailrace Campground, Fort Thompson, South Dakota. With less than 4 hours drive on this Travel Day, we had plenty of time. The other day I decided to do grocery shopping this morning in Sioux City, IA. It worked out great! Since we will be... Continue Reading →

So, I said, if Ambient shows rain… it means the basement of HOWE is flooding. He got a good laugh out of that. Thankfully it wasn’t raining... Continue Reading →

The directions said it was Region 3, 4, 5. Well, this place was an art building but the ladies nicely told us... Continue Reading →

Check in at Lake Manawa State Park campground, Council Bluffs, Iowa, wasn’t until 4:00 p.m. We were here by 1:15 p.m. So we found a place to do our grocery shopping for the... Continue Reading →
Kevin had said he wanted to go to the Gateway Arch National Park. I remember it from years ago but we found out it has changed. We headed to downtown St Louis. We saw quite a few parking garages with signs saying that is where parking is for the Arch. However, our truck is long... Continue Reading →
On the way home (footnoted 1) from a 4 hour drive to our sister-in-law’s birthday party, in Missouri, we drove along Hwy 36 over the Mississippi River to the Illinois side and down south along the river. At Hamburg, right along the river, we could see where it flooded the other day when we were... Continue Reading →
