Day 48 - Devils Tower, Wyoming

 June 28, 2026

Today we adventured out to Devils Tower 



We stopped at the Trading Post for the most delicious Huckleberry Ice Cream
Look at that view! 
It was a bit windy, but Paula says it's always windy in Wyoming.
Tom, Rich, Paula & I 
Then we ventured up to the park's visitor center so I could get the passport stamp for my book.  Look at that beautiful tower! Amazing!! 
Yep, it is still crazy windy!  Just face the wind when you take a picture!  It is like a mini facelift when the big gusts hit ya! Paula & I look great!!!  LOL!! 
The vivid red rocks at the entrance to the park


Such a beautiful area.  The prairie dogs were hopping and popping in and out of their holes. What looked like falcons or hawks were trying to catch them some "prairie dog take out" for lunch as we drove by.
We got back to the RV, took the dogs on a short walk then went to Tom & Paula's to dinner; a delicious roast, mashed potatoes and carrots!  It was so good.

Day 1 - Is this really happening?

  10 May 2026 Mothers Day 10am We are off!  Not without a hiccup though. Yesterday afternoon while loading the refrigerator on board I noticed it wasn't as cool as it was earlier. After some troubleshooting we figured out the evaporator cooling fan had DIED! (Nope this isn't a part that sits on the shelf at your local Walmart.) a couple of calls were made, no one had the part in stock.  OK, not a problem. We will make do.  Plan #1 - We have a small apartment size refrigerator on the back deck area. We will use that during the trip and keep all the frozen food in the freezer side that was still working.  Plan #2 - Our good friends Mark & Peggy Steffen, who also own a Brinkley and live in St Robert, came up with the idea of swapping their refrigerator cooling fan for ours. They would call in a service order on Monday for their unit to get it repaired.  (We are both still under warranty)   They guys decide to go with plan #2.  A couple hours...

Day 5 - Dorothy this isn't Kansas and this isn't a tornado

We are under a Red Flag warning, a High wind warning (35 - 45 mph winds with gusts up to 65 mph) in effect today. WHEW!!! It is CRAZY!! We had a couple of items we needs to pick up at Walmart and we wanted to fill up the truck before heading out tomorrow morning so we went into Minot this morning while the wind wasn't to severe.  We were coming up to the Souris River in town and Rich spotted our wildlife sighting for the day, a family of Geese! 2 adult geese with 6 goslings.   We went to a local mom & pop diner for breakfast that we found online called Charlie's. The place was clean, people were nice and food was good. When we come this way again I want to go back to try there burgers.    Afterwards we drove around the block to snap a picture of the oldest Catholic Church in the area; St Leo the Great Catholic Church, built in 1908.  Next on our tour of Minot was the Scandinavian Heritage Park. Unfortunately none of the buildings were open but we were stil...

Day 4 - If the wind stops blowing does everyone just fall over?

Image
 13 May 2026  - No wind! We woke up to the most peaceful morning here in the middle of the vineyard at Viking Vines Vineyards RV park.  It was such a different feeling not being blown all over the place!  Very enjoyable.  Viking Vines Vineyard Viking Vines Vineyard RV Park Interstate 94 is a lonely Interstate. There is not much traffic up here in North Dakota.   Did you know the population of the entire state of North Dakota is around 800,000? There are cities more populated that this entire state!!  Beautiful days like today could entice a person  to move here. Then you talk to a local and hear of -45° winters and 60 mph winds for days and change your mind quicker than a prairie fire with a tail wind!!!  Interesting sights along the way today:  World's Largest Buffalo - Ummpf!!! Exit 253 an American Roadside Sight  The artist was paid $800  26 feet tall, 46 feet long & built in 1959 constructed out of stucco and cemen...
