We have reached a milestone in our journey. This stop makes the 50th place that we have stopped since we started our journey 289 days ago from the deep mud in Solomons Island, Maryland.
After having rolled 9,938 miles through 22 states and endured 179 hours behind the wheel the 50th stop seems like a small number. In our journey we have had a few mishaps. The most memorable one being the Pick Up truck we tow cutting loose and trying to pass us on the on ramp to the highway. I could literally see it in the side mirror. I was expecting to see the blinker come on the Pick Up truck as it tried to pass me on the left. One tire blow out that caused some damage but we have another good story to tell from that. Countless discoveries in and around the RV of how things work.
Our 50th stop brings us here to Rapid City, South Dakota. The weather should be nice the next few days and we expect to go out and see Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis, Deadwood and a few other places around here. Oh, if you think we are "experienced" RV'ers because the number of miles we have logged, think again. The latest blunder I did was to forget to turn off the defroster fan in the Pick Up truck when we were towing it. Result was that the battery was completely dead when we arrived. Had to jump it!
Thanks Road Hazard for bringing us this far but we still have a ways to go.
