Marilyn was the first one up this morning, earlier than anticipated, because she had to set the time on the clock in the hotel room and it was an hour out...oh well, there was shopping to do.
A trip to the mall, next door to the hotel to the Target to pick up a few things for the folks at home that they couldn't get there...at least not at such a bargain price. And speaking of bargains...or lack of...what the heck has happened to the price of coffee...it's worse than fuel! Just a little vent...
The rain started during the night, lots of lightning and thunder to go with it...and it was still drizzling for most of the morning. After Al got ready to roll, we went down for the "continental breakfast" and were looking for someplace to sit when who should be sitting in the corner, but Al's uncle and aunt from back home in Grayson! What a nice surprise, we got to have a good chat with them until the free breakfast police kicked us out of the room.
We left Minot and the rain started to let up and by the time we made Kenmare to get fuel, it had pretty much stopped. We got to the border and had an uneventful entry...even with the back seat of the pickup stacked full with Al's farm toys. Once we got to Carlyle, we got the pickup header loaded on the trailer, then left to meet Al's step dad, Ray, in Whitewood.
Ray picks up our mail while we are gone so he had a pretty good size bag of bills we really didn't want to see. We had supper with him and had a visit with a friend who is part owner of the White/Agco dealership in Whitewood, then it was back to Carlyle for the night.
Tomorrow it's back to Gettysburg, via Pingree...
