Day 10, Wed, Jun 13, 2007, Brookings, SD to Grand Forks, ND Air Force Base

Last night we got rained on. When we left the Oakwood Lakes State Park it was sprinkling. The further we drove, the worse it got.

We did have to stop for gas in Sisseton, SD (just before the ND) line. Gas was $3.059 per gallon. Ouch! But I'm afraid it will only get worse.

A little before we got to Fargo, ND it started raining so hard I could barely see the road. All the way through Fargo all I could see was my part of the road. We really wanted to see Fargo, but it wasn't meant to be. It literally poured rain until we were well north of Fargo. We put up with a lot of rain most of the day, but it did let up a bit before we got to Grand Forks, ND.

Barbara had gotten an Rx before we left home, but her sinus infection has actually gotten worse. So today she got on the cell phone and called her doctor at home and asked him to prescribe something else and had him call it in to CVS in Grand Forks, ND. So when we got to Grand Forks we had to stop to pick it up.

From there we went about 15 miles west of Grand Forks to the Grand Forks Air Force base and found a nice campsite at their campground for $12.00 per night for full hookups, including cable TV hookup.
