Theodore Roosevelt National Park – South

August 14, 2020 / Rex / 0 Comments

8/12/2020 This morning we started with a hike of about a mile down towards the bottom of the Painted Canyon. It wasn’t to bad of a hike but I sure am glad we did that first thing……. it got HOT later in the day. 1 bottle of water split between us shows that we weren’t …

Small and insignificant

August 13, 2020 / Rex / 0 Comments

We pulled out of the Jamestown ND Walmart parking lot this morning around 7:30 for just a little under 200 mile drive with Mary driving for a short spell. The fields along I-94 are massive, but it’s interesting to see the gigantic fields of sunflowers with their yellow flowers, contrasting nicely with green hay fields …

That’s the post. Wear a mask in crowded places and inside.Iowa, Minnesota and now North Dakota so few people with mask on. Employees and shoppers no mask. By the way the mask should cover both your mouth and nose AND in case you didn’t know it’s not something to use as some kind of strange …

8/10/2020 No wonder I’m tired I drove 567 miles today, walmart to walmart, with a stop at the Mississippi River headwaters in Minnesota. That’s something that was on my list for a while. It would have been nice to stay a while but for being in the middle of nowhere it was kinda busy. We …

8/8/2020 We pulled out of Raban tires in Clarksville IN this morning about 8:15. He (the nice young man working in the shop on a Saturday morning) had to take off one front hubcap and add an extension to the valve stem. That’s the one I was having trouble with, I didn’t know how to …

Well that would have ruined my day

August 7, 2020 / Rex / 0 Comments

8/4/2020 We’re parked here in the Charlestown State Park. I do believe I mentioned that it’s on the muddy and un-level side. A note, somewhere after we left Alpena MI we sprung a leak in a hydraulic hose on the transmission. As we got nearer to here it was getting worse. I added fluid several …

7/23/2020 Miles driven 225 Elevation 612We pulled out of Germantown WI around 8:30 for our much delayed return to exploring. I was somewhat worried about rush hour traffic leaving that early in the morning with a few miles of town driving but, thankfully, that proved to be a non issue. So far all is well …
