Friday 4-21 Back on the Road

 

We’re excited

 

We woke up to sunshine no clouds and the wind was down. It was brisk but gorgeous.

After three days of rain and hanging out at Dakotah Meadows RV Park we were back on the road. I had a great time walking over to the casino to gamble but it’s time to say good-bye. We got up, took showers and got the Minnie ready to go. Before leaving Larry dumped the tanks, filled the fresh water tank and filled the Minnie up with gas.

We drove 300 miles to get to our next destination. On the way we stopped at a rest area to stretch our legs. The rest area had a big statue of Paul Bunyan and a sign about him and another sign about his companion Babe, the Blue Ox. While we were stopped we decided to have lunch. After lunch we continued our adventure. For some reason I couldn’t keep my eyes open the whole day so I did a lot of napping. Occasionally, Larry would wake me up to show me something.

Since there are no campgrounds open in Minnesota we were forced to stay at another casino, darn. We arrived at the Palace Casino around 4:00. They have fifteen electrical sites for RVs and we were a bit concerned about getting a spot since it was Friday but there was no problem, in fact there was only a couple other RVs with us. The RV sites are free, they only ask you to sign up for a preferred customer card which earns you points as you gamble. I don’t spend enough money for that to benefit me but it doesn’t cost anything. When you register the card they give you $5.00 on the card to gamble with. I gambled for three and a half hours and had a super time.

We had a great day.
