Buster at Lebanon Hills Campground

US 10 in Minnesota

We are on route to be in Crookston, Minnesota on Friday for visits with Bonnies extended family for five days then pushing on for South Dakota and a Escapees Elks Birds of a Feather (BoF) rally in Piedmont South Dakota August 23, -26. That rally is a per rally to the Escapees Escapade rally August 28, - September 2, that is in Gillette, Wyoming

Buster took us 228 miles north and west across Minnesota on US highways , we left the interstate highways behind at Monticello Minnesota getting over to US 10. Earlier today I remembered that I used the last water filter cartridge in July and I had not purchased any more. So there was a Home Depot one exit before the exit Buster was going to take anyway. I purchased two packages, Bonnie and I were going around the store in different circles each picked up one package. I felt better having the second package available in Buster. Interstate 94 in Minnesots was the roughest road in our travels this year and were glad to exit that road. Today to: Detroit Lakes, Minnesota - Country Campground  84 degrees and partly cloudy today.

In Little Falls, MN we crossed west of the Mississippi River on our trip west. And since we left North Carolina we have noticed at least one car a day with North Carolina licence plate, except today. But we did maintain the record of another Florida licence plate seen every day.
