We were able to get off to an early start considering that the RV storage does not open until 8:30.  We quickly packed and headed out by 9:30.  The border crossing was very easy - other than we misread the signs and got into the wrong lane.  That resulted in about a half-hour delay - not too serious at all.  We had some wind most of the day but it was mostly at the back corner so not very troublesome.  We stopped at a little campground in Strasburg, ND only to find that it was closed.  Across the street was a parking area next to some ball diamonds.  We thought that we would definitely be out of the way there - a great spot and real quiet.

We had a good rest but when Gerry asked if I was sleeping at 4:30 a.m., I never should have answered.  Sure enough we were on the road by 4:45 a.m.  There was a skiff of snow throughout the night but that caused no problems.  A couple of hours later, we were having breakfast in Pierre, SD.  Again, a good day for driving, other than some wind but again, it was from the back but the temperatures were pleasant.  Today we were into South Dakota before breakfast, had lunch in Nebraska, and supper in Kansas.  We spent the night at the local Wal-mart in Garden City, KS.  It didn't even freeze last night.

Day three and we are finally able to slow down the pace.  We are in Alamogordo, NM, again at the local Wal-Mart.  Tomorrow we will go off to find a campground for a couple of days and find somewhere to get a windshield fixed.  We got a rock in the windshield today - that was after a new one this past summer, and the summer before.
