This picture shows where the Missouri and Yellowstone river meet. There is a nice Lewis and Clark interpretive center located here. A couple miles away we visited two forts. One was a military fort during the "Indian uprisings" and the other was a trading post for the fur trade. Did you know it took 13 beaverskins for an indian to purchase a rifle?From Williston we continued our trek east. Hot, you betcha!! Low humidity means nothing when it is 100 degrees. We ended up spending another 3 nights at the Grand Forks Air Force Base. Full hook-ups, 70 channel cable TV and they accepted the Golden Age Passport which means that it only cost $6 a night. We restocked at the exchange and commisary,as supplies were getting low.
Onward we trek!! Crossed Minnesota and spent the next night in western WI. We are learning as we go that even if a campground advertises WI-FI, you can not always pick it up. Frustrating!!
The following day we moved into Norway, MI for an Escapee Rally. We were the second people there. The following day, three more people joined us. Now there were plenty. So good to be around fellow Escapees again, we visited until late at night.
