Down the "Old West Trail"


Woke up to 20 mph winds this morning. Today is the first day of the Cabela's Masters Walley circuit championships which brings professional fishermen from all over the country. The bass boats are awesome. They fly around the stumps and through the white caps from one end of the lake to the other. After breakfast at the local Family Inn Restaurant we went back to the coach to plan the next part of our trip.

About 1pm we wandered over to the service area and I saw Neil walking around with a box and I said to Ken "I bet that's our part!" and it was...They took the coach in to work on it and we took off for another adventure around the lake. We went to the Woodland Resort on the lake for lunch. We sat on the patio and watched the bass boats race up and down. We went back to the dealer after lunch and the coach was ready! I can't say enough about the guys and the service we had they were fantastic.

At 3:51 pm we left the parking lot and headed down the Old West Trail (Rte 281 S) to Carrington, ND. We crossed the Continental Divide at 1,619 feet above sea level. Carrington is the first stop in our new route. Carrington is known for manufacturing pasta. We wanted to go through the manufacturing plant, but unfortunately we found out they only give tours to groups with previous arrangements.. Oh well...We found the Carrington City Park in our "Free" Camping book. It's a really pretty city park and has 8 sites with water & electric hookups and is walking distance to town. We cooked sausage & peppers for dinner and walked to the ice cream shop for malts!

It's good to be on the road again.
