We are Getting Close to Home!!

WHERE ARE WE? Rugby North Dakota
NEXT DESTINATION? Rivers Provincial Park, Rivers Manitoba

Well we are almost on the last leg of our journey back to CJ's to get the Ice Cream Summer under way.  It looks like we will be opening on May long weekend, but before we can even think about opening, we have to self isolate for 14 days to prove to the world that we are not dragging some ugly virus around with us.  We have literally been isolated for the last 3 weeks already, but that doesn't count so we will be on lockdown until around May 7th.  Here is our travels today.  We had a little longer day so we won't have far to go tomorrow, plus it was a gorgeous day today so we just kept going. 

First thing we did was grab some fuel.  We spent 120 bucks US on fuel for the last three days travel.  That's not too bad when your pushing 40 ft of MH along!  Fuel was 1.89 a gallon here for diesel.

We meandered through some pretty little towns and I love how all the traffic is routed right through town.  Even the trucks just go down main street. 

Some have some interesting water towers with some real effort put in the paint jobs.

After lunch we crossed into North Dakota which is the last state we have to go through to get to Manitoba.  We have enjoyed our trip so far and today was no different.

We did see some snow in the bushes as we got farther north but the temperature today would get rid of a lot of it.  It was about 20C in Jamestown when we came through.

There was quite a bit of water in the ditches but remember the snow has just melted.  I don't think there is a lot of major flooding happening anywhere we went. 

And of course a picture of Charlie just chillin while we make some miles.  He gets quite comfy on the couch in a sunbeam.

About 5 pm we pulled into the fair grounds in Rugby ND.  There is not much action in fairgrounds at this time of year so we had the place all to ourselves.  They normally have power and water but all of that is shut off this time of year.  Doesn't matter cause we have our own power and water!!!

This part of the country is big agricultural business.  Right beside the fair grounds are some huge grain elevators.  I wouldn't even hazard a guess how many bushels that complex holds but I did notice that they are all tied together with cross augers so they can move grain from one end of the complex to the other.

On our wander tonight we found this cute little bar/concession stand made out of an old grain bin.  What a great idea for a cheap concession stand.

Well we are all tied up here in the fair grounds for the night.  The sheriff drove by and never batted an eye so we must be ok for the night.  Here is the view out both our side windows tonight.  One more travel day to go!!!  Goodnight!
