Day 4, Thursday, September 17, 2009 – 426 miles


The day started somewhat ominously as we noticed our batteries were low. Apparently, they have not been getting a full recharge during the day’s towing. I thought the truck should be able to keep them full. We stopped in Wolf Lodge for fuel. I inquired with a local police officer for an RV shop. The closest was Williston, ND. I suspected one of the batteries, but a test at the Car Quest store indicated the batteries are good. We stopped at the RV place in Williston, and the technician spent nearly an hour with me trying to trouble-shoot, but to no avail. We decided our overnight, planned for Devil’s Lake, ND, must be at an RV Park where we can get an electrical hookup. Guess what! There are none in Devil’s Lake, so we are in a Wal-Mart parking lot being very stingy with batter consumption.
The drive was much like most of yesterday, being the Great Plains. We saw a large bull dear, white crane, and lots of antelope. Repetitive, yet beautiful countryside. The further east we came, the more farm land. Wheat is in full harvest (hard red, I believe) as well as hay and other crops. I love farm country. The highlight was a stop at Rugby, ND, the geographical center of North America.
