Our 2015 RV Trip We waited to leave until it warmed up to at least 10 degrees at night. Didn't want diesel jelling. Last week was -25 degrees Wed. morning. After closing up the house I was out at the shop by 7:30AM Jan.14 to meet Mike and load up..Gas had dropped to $1.97 at the Whistlestop as I drove by which I took as a good omen. The RV radio Mike played every day at the shop wouldn't start this morning. Chris and Mike followed wires to no avail but miraculously it started working so several hours later we headed to Miles City. Broadus, across SD toward Valentine NE.We quit 77 miles short of that.
SD has designated I-90 from WY border to MN as Purple Heart Memorial Highway. What highway did MT dedicate? It was dark and Mike exhausted so we spent the night boondocking in Murdo, home of an 1880 old west village. Pulled pork sandwiches and broccoli apple salad.
How many Wall Drug signs are therre? Free ice water, 5 cent coffee, free coffee and
donut for newlyweds and military. There's 126 Wall Drug signs in VietNam alone.
Jan.15 - Highway 83 was our path all day to Dodge City. Straight roads past corn fields, feed lots, shallow oil wells and wind turbines fill the landscape.
The generator for inside electricity had antifreeze blowup at McCook so Mike was on speed dial to the serviceman after batteries had no power. Will get a volt meter in the AM. It was essential to find an RV park so we would have power to keep us warm and electricity for lights tonight. Chinese stir fry.
Hoping to connect with my brother, Clayton and Priscilla, in McKinney this weekend. If we don't solve the battery power, Dallas is a Marathon service center and Monday will get experts involved. In spite of the RV issues, you can't beat the good times cruising along with the one you love.
Yes, Shopcat is thrilled to be RVing. Doesn't she look like it?
