Travel Day #15 – On the Road Again
Hard to believe, but it's already Travel Day #15 since we rolled out of Show Low, Arizona. Even more surprising—it's been 46 days since we began this leg of our journey. Time really does fly when you're living life one campground at a time.
We arrived at our latest stop on Saturday, after a relatively short 115-mile drive. Along the way, we made a pit stop to refuel at the T/A Express in Steele, North Dakota—a good place to top off before pressing onward. Diesel was listed at $3.19, with a TSD Open Roads discount down to $3.08. Not a huge discount, but this marks the last Open Roads fueling stop we'll see on the western side of North Dakota. We took on 76 gallons after logging 480 miles since our last fill-up.
One thing we've definitely noticed: the scenery is changing. What started as lush green grass, tree-lined roads, and gently rolling hills has now shifted into vast flatlands and endless stretches of farmland. The contrast is striking—and beautiful in its own quiet, expansive way. The photos we’ve taken along the route really capture this transformation, and we’re excited to share a few with you soon.
About Our Layovers – The RV Parks
Where we stay along the way really depends on the weather. Ever since we left Fox Lake, we've made it a priority to find sites with at least 30 amps, though we always prefer 50 amps—especially when the temperatures start climbing.
A bonus for us is Full Hookups (FHU)—they make it easy to catch up on laundry, cool the coach down with both A/Cs, and enjoy a little more comfort. Our stop in Jamestown was just that: nothing fancy, but it had FHU, friendly neighbors, and easy access to the local area for exploring.
Our explorations to a Re-created Frontier Town, where all the building were donated by the owners.
In attendance, the Largest buffalo: The sculpture is 26 feet tall and 46 feet long and weighs 60 short tons. It was constructed with stucco and cement around a steel beam frame shaped with wire mesh.
