I was up at 6:30 and when to town to the Ford dealer about the A/C; once again there was a few days wait which is not an option so I looked for a place to get an oil & Lube and could find no one available. Back to the park, hooked up and on the road by 9 am, on I-94 east. Approx an hour later, we had a blow-out on the left front tire of Mr BEAR! This is the LAST of the original tires on this rig; I wondered how long it would take!? Anyway, a motorhome stopped to make sure we were OK and were soon on their way then we had a HWY DEP’T Employee stopped and he gave me a hand. As I was finishing, two more cars stopped to assist but no need! I had to put the blow out in the back of the BEAST as the crank jack system under the trailer would not operate...it was damaged at some point during our travels!??? Anyway, we continued on I-94 to Dickinson, North Dakota and bought a new spare, a TOYO this time. Once this was done, we were on the road again and stopped in Bismarck at an RV place to see about a new jack-up for the spare but it ended up an empty exercises as it would cost too much to have it shipped to Ontario. Once again back on I-94 and our final destination, Frontier Village Park, a PASSPORT AMERICA member. This was another hot day, 104*F in Bismarck and 88*F in Jamestown. The scenery changed quite a bit past Bismarck in that it became farm land, lots of trees and huge fields of wheat, corn and canola. We also went through Roosevelt National Park and the National grassland. We lost an hour just prior to Bismarck, hence moved our clocks one hour ahead. We went to the Bar and Grill here in the Park and had dinner for really cheap, steaks and the works for both of us for $30. and 6 beers too. Can't beat that!
We travelled 500 Km ( 301
miles) in 5.5 hrs at an average 54 mph.
We stopped for a total of 3 hrs.
