Well, we put in 469 miles today leaving behind the big woods of Wisconsin and Minnesota and entering the wide open expanse of the Great Plains. You can see so far here you almost expect to see wild Indians and herds of buffalo. But, of course those things are long gone. Speaking of wild life we’ve already seen some of the bear variety raiding the adjacent campsite in Wisconsin this morning. We were waiting for Connie and Leo and Mike saw some movement out of the corner of his eye. He thought it was just a big black dog, but soon realized it was YOGI BEAR looking for picinic baskets. Evidently the nearby campers had left some of last nights supper out and the bears none too gently disposed of it. Slam banging pots and pans in their greedy effort to gorge themselves. Who’d of thunk we’d see bears so soon. While everyone rushed to get their cameras the camera shy bears made a quick exit.
Tonight we are ensconced in a mildly pleasant roadside RV Park in Rugby North Dakota (which has the distinction of being the geographic center of North America). Looking forward to Connie’s bean soup for supper, the winning Tigers baseball game on XM Radio and then a nice hot shower in the morning before taking off again.
Hope everyone is well. Tell Kaylee to try and stay safe and that Gramma and Grampa hope her arm is healing well. And also hopefully Katie forgives Gramma and Grampa for not calling on her birthday. We’ll try and make it up to her later. SORRY.
Tomorrow we push on to Montana and hope to make the foothills of the Rockies. We will post again as soon as we are able.
No pictures to share yet, but will send some as soon as we get them. Love to everyone

Glad to here there are no MAJOR issues yet! What in the world were those people (flatlanders)thinking, even I know that you don't leave food out! (here the cockroaches would take off with the food and your camper to eat it in!!) Katie is ok with it she loves loves loves the gifts she sleeps with the polly pocket and have done the puzzle about 10 times. I am shocked at the price of gas I guess I thought it would be higher! Good for you though right?! Keep the posts coming it makes us feel like we are there with you! The girls and I read it at night and I show them on the map where you are. They think it is so cool! Be safe and don't drive sleepy!
So here I am alone feeling completely cut off from the world and your blog pops up and pulls me back in. Thank you for the post! Keep up the great detail, I almost feel like I'm there! Kaylee is fine. On monday she had her cast put on. In case you were wondering, it's pink. Just in case you were worried and nervous like me, I passed my first test today. Only 4 more to go!
