We departed from the Top ‘O The Morn’ Campground at 8:30am this morning. Chris started off the driving and at 9:21am we crossed into Minnesota. We managed to find a deli today, so when we had lunch at 12:45, we were able to have ham sandwiches. At the rest area, two trucks with large RV trailers pulled in and two elderly couples had their lunch as well. At around 1:20pm we stopped for gas and guessed we were just below Manitoba because holy-moly is was damn windy. We lost a plastic bag out the window because of it. Heh.

Being back in the States, we were able to pick up cheap Gatorade again too. We grabbed two 8-packs for $10 today. Smoke’n deal!

Somewhere around 3:00pm we drove through Nelson County, North Dakota. Ohhhh, the memories with Kelly. Not too sure what time we hit North Dakota either. We drove a long way today as we wanted to ensure we got home to Calgary sometime tomorrow. At 6:00pm we passed through Rugby, North Dakota and sometime after that we found Roughrider Campground in Minot, North Dakota where we grabbed a campsite. After dinner, which consisted of roasting hotdogs over the fire (of which I managed to drop mine directly into the fire and when I attempted to “flick” it out, managed to get it covered in sand and ash) we headed to the store where we couldn’t turn down $1.99 pints of ice cream. Ooooh, another reminder of Kelly. I remember when we payed $4.99 for these things along the way. We’ll see how long after the trip my ice cream addiction sticks around.

At some point today, before reaching Minot, we passed through Bagley, North Dakota. Bagley is apparently the direct center of North America. Pretty cool.
