We left Bismarck at about noon after talking with a retired Air Force couple from Florida for about an hour exchanging stories and tips. We were only going about 100 miles today and spent another hour talking with a Canadian couple at a rest stop on the way. We crossed the Missouri river (where

Yesterday we mounted our new TV in the RV and it traveled well today. We went through Fargo and are now settled in Bismarck. The large sunflower and amber wheat fields we passed through were a colorful change of pace from the green corn, soybean and sugar beet fields. We visited with my Uncle
