Well, we made it to Salem,SD. It was the roughest trip I have had in a Motorhome. The wind was out of our 2 oclock all the way about 20 to 30 MPH. I had to put it in a lower gear to go down hill. I think we averaged about 4 MPG on this trip. I had had up to 9.5 MPG on other trips, but today the wind tried to blow the Motorhome off the road, as well as slow you down going down hill. They say the wind will let up for tomorrow. I sure hope so. I hope I can get to the next gas station without running our of gass. This is the lowest I've let the tank get before I fill it up...
We plan a stop at Mitchell, SD where they have a corn house or some such thing. Bob was raised around this area in Rapid City, SD, so he knows some of the areas to stop and see. We plan a 2 or 3 day stay in the Rapid City area to check out Mt. Rushmore etc in that area. Lots to see there. Plan to get there tomorrow. We have to leave early in this morning, about 0830. That is early for us. Will stop in Mitchel, SD for some breakfast, then on to Rapid City to a campground they know of near Mt. Rushmore. Lot's to see around there.
Bob came over this evening and had a drink with us. It was real nice to jab with him again. Now it's 8:44, so we need to get some supper and get to bed. I sure get tired with all this driving??
Will have more about our things tomorrow.
