Today we finally got out of the rain and humidity, with
sprinkles on the morning walk with Ranger and dark clouds in the rear-view
mirror most of the way through Minnesota.
We took US Route 10 to Moorhead,
passed through Fargo, and took I-94 to Bismarck. Our campsite is in Fort Abraham Lincoln State
Park in Mandan, along the Missouri River.
I enjoyed the drive through North Dakota more than I
expected to. The land was very green,
with rolling hills and lots of little ponds on which we frequently saw small
ducks (unidentifiable at 60 mph). Our campsite is in an open grassy area with
some trees for shade. There were many
party boats pulled up on a sandbar near the campground, with loud music and
lots of people, but things quieted down in the evening. On our evening walk we saw yellow warblers
and black-headed grosbeaks, nice additions to this trip’s bird list. We appreciate the lower humidity, and it
should be good sleeping tonight, with lows near 50 predicted.
