Day
69 - 7-19-15 Sunday We departed about 9:30AM and headed for
Jamestown ND. Shortly after getting on highway 86 we saw several
Pronghorn on the left side of the road waiting to cross the highway.
We were not able to get any photos.
We
had a brisk crosswind coming from the West on highway 86 but when we
turned on I-94 we were headed East so we had a good tailwind pushing
us so the driving was better. The scenery was a continuation of hay
fields and large ranches/farms and several oil rigs pumping oil. We
saw one oil derrick where they were drilling oil. About mid day we
began to see lots of large corn fields and what we think was fields
of sun flowers. They were not blooming but that is what it looked
like. We continued to see large hay fields, horses and cattle. Still
are not seeing many trees except around some of the houses. The
town/cities are getting larger as we get further into North Dakota.

We
needed to restock some of our groceries so when we got to Jamestown
ND we pulled into Wal-Mart and stocked up on some items and decided
to stay in their parking lot for the night (with permission). We had
planned to stay at a campground in Jamestown but it was down a 1.1
mile dusty gravel road. We have driven enough on dusty gravel roads
to last us a long time. The motor home and Jeep are dirty but I still
didn't want to drive the dusty gravel road and the motor home engine
air filter has about all the dust in it that it needs .
