Day 88: Richland Center


Cold rain all day.  Upper 40’s/Low 50’s.  And rain…and rain.

Fortunately we did not sit around in the RV all day.  We had already planned to unplug and drive to Richmond Center to visit with relatives.  So at noon we arrived to visit with Dan’s aunt, Ruth Collins, along with her son Mike and his wife Mary.  Mary had fixed quite a spread for lunch: trout, salmon, potato salad, pasta salad, cheese, crackers, pickles….and brownies with fresh raspberries for dessert.

Ruth was kind enough to allow (wet) Ranger in, and he enjoyed the attention and the warmth of being inside a house.  However, he seemed convinced that there was some threat…cat? Another dog?...outside, so he growled, and paced, and checked windows, and barked on and off.  Pretty stimulating place, I guess.


In late afternoon we returned to our soggy campsite, and after such a large lunch, we had soup and sandwiches and a quiet evening of reading.  With clearing skies, the temperatures are supposed to drop into the upper 30’s overnight.
