Rudy and Holly, both

on Brads lap!

Buddy and Teresa were up and ready to leave by 8 am.  We said good byes and started packing the Moho.  About 8:30 Diane headed to the drug store by pick up scripts. I finished packing Moho and pulled out and found a place to hook up the truck.  She called a small problem with scripts. Long story short it was around 9:50 until we pulled out.  We had 30 MPH wind with gusts to 45, it made driving challenging and we stopped at every rest area.  Good news it was a tail wind best mpg ever.  We pulled into the Jamestown Campground about 4pm.  We had dinner at Buddy and Teresa's camper and talked for a little then headed back home  The wind was still blowing hard when we went to bed.

We all four headed out to visit a free wildlife display, frontier town and the national Buffalo Museum.  The first one was a taxidermist display and three penned up buffalo. It was sad the three buffalo were in a very small enclosure.  The frontier town was nice, it is home to worlds largest buffalo(statue).  And the National Buffalo Museum was nice.  Next was lunch (at 3:00 pm)  at a very nice place, 'Buffalo City Grill', food was good and beer cold.  Just our luck they had just closed down several streets for a block party but we found parking close enough to walk to the restaurant.  Back to the campers walk the dogs and called it a night.

We were packed and heading out by 9:30.  Diane drove over to Tractor Supply to check out propane accessibility.  I pulled up for propane went inside and guy tells me I will have to wait until another worker shows up.  Really I'm in a hurry.  About ten minutes the worker shows up and we get  propane. In the mean time Diane has gone to Walmart bought some wine and returned.  We hook up and finally get on the road.  We drove routes 281 and 10 both good two lane road.  Only one problem,  we are tooling along at 62 1/2 mph enjoying the journey when Diane notices a sign says "pavement ends".  Holy crap,  I hit the brakeway to late and for about 100 yds we bounced across some very rough gravel but we all survived.  After that we stopped for lunch and to recover.  The rest of the drive was uneventful and we parked around 3:30.  We set up, talked to Buddy and Teresa for a little before heading out for diner, back around 8:00 pm.
