GMC Motor Home, Travel with Teri and Dan

Aberdeen, South Dakota

We have had a great ride across the country. LAst evening we stopped at a free campground in Columbus, Mt. Was great, right on a nice little river. Had a campfire and everything. Over slept this morning so we did not get out of there until 9 am cst. Arrived here in Aberdeen, SD this evening at 810 pm. Best time to pull into Walmart parking lot, just getting dark.
We have bunches of photos to share. Not putting them up tonite. Too tired to sort through them. Also, am getting wifi signal that is a little marginal so don't want to take a chance on getting everything messed up. We hope to arrive in Omaha Saturday afternoon. Looks like 380 miles. Just a short hop for us. If we don't make it we will be there Sunday, not a big deal.
Let me say this, hiway 12 is a great road for any sightseer, whether in an rv or an automobile. We got back on 12 at noon today, in Mt. drove about 400 miles on it, 2 lane, all the way to Aberdeen. All of it was nice except the part in ND. That stretch was rutted where they were not working on it. They had poor constuction zone "lead cars". I say that because we were last in a string. Was in a 5-7 mile section under construction. We had to dodge heavy equipment and when we met the lead car going back I stopped her and told her she left me behind. I was not happy. Oh well, I got over it. The rest of the road is just great. Speed limit is fast so we came right on along. Everything was functioning as it should have been. The coach climbed the mountains, with the car behind, just great.
We followed Larry for 120 miles in Idaho on 12. We seperated at Misoula Thursday at noon.. Was just great visiting with Rob and Larry. Oh, I find no publishing of the free campgrounds and dumps on 12 in Idaho. They are everywhere.
Well, hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Oh, we saw all kinds of game today. From antelope to pheasants. The pheasants were everywhere in SD. Guess that is why it is the state bird. Should be a law that hunters must use 22 rifles to hunt them. They fly like a chicken. One can pluck them from the air with a sling shot. I know that for a fact, just don't ask. Anyway, with a little luck at getting up on time, we will make Omaha tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for checking on us. Will have photos soon. I really appreciate all of the email notes about the blog. Dan
