About Me

We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

June 27 2012; Jameston ND to Duluth Minnesota


JUNE 27, Wednesday, Jamestown North Dakota to Duluth, Minnesota
I was up at 6:30 am again this morning and took the truck to Express Lube garage for an oil & lube then fuelled up at $3.689.  Now I feel better!  I came back to our place, hooked up then we drove to McDonald for an “egg McMuffin” and coffee.  We stopped at Walmart and bought some groceries then we hit the highway (I-94).  For the first since leaving Olds, we had a tail wind all the way; what a nice change and much better on fuel consumption.  We drove through Fargo, a very nice little town, on Hwy 10; too bad we are so rush to get to Ontario.  We fuelled in Parks Rapids @ $3.899 and found cheaper fuel just 10 miles down the road @ 3.65.  Anyway, the scenery began to change from here; the farms became more apparent and the trees became more common.  In Detroit Lake, Minnesota, we turned on Hwy 34 then in walker, Hwy 200 to Hwy 2.  The last section of this highway was very rough and we had to slow down some.  Hwy 200 was mainly thick forest with some evergreen, not much to look at.  On Hwy 2, we headed for our final destination of the day...Duluth.  We took I-35 north and got off at exit 251A and down to our campground...Indian Point RV Park.  We set up and had dinner and caught up to our mail and blog.  I uploaded some pictures!
