Travel Day to Bismarck, North Dakota

Left Dickinson, ND this morning around 9:00 a.m. (MST).  A beautiful day to travel.  The wind was at our back pushing our motorhome eastward, the sky was partly cloudy so it wasn't too hot.  Just a perfect day.  It is so absolutely green here in North Dakota.  The entire country has been hearing about the flooding in parts of the state due to the heavy winter snowfall in Montana as well as the rains that have been going on all spring and summer thus far.  All of this moisture has resulted in beautiful heavily grassed fields.  Of course all of the rivers and lakes are exceptionally full as well.
Arrived in Bismarck, ND at about 12:30 p.m. (CST).  The road from the interstate to the KOA Campground is being torn up so that it can be widened to a four lane road.  Wow!  Messy!  Made it just fine to the KOA and checked in.  Got one of our favorite campsites.  The trees don't block the satelite signal for our DirecTV.  Awesome.  Got our motorhome all set up and then tried to get our laptops hooked up to the free WiFi here at the campground.  Major difficulties.  The owners of the campground are really accommodating.  Sat beside Mike and telephoned the Internet provider and tried everything to get connected.  Couldn't get it done at that point in time, but assured us they would keep trying to get the problem resolved.
Left to head down to Mike's mom's house.  Mike's sister Colette is already here.  Got to visit with her and mom and then Valerie and Leroy arrived.  Really nice seeing everyone and visiting with them all.  Looking forward to the next ten days with Mike's family.
It's really interesting how time seems to move alot faster when you change time zones.  Came back to the campground to get some sleep.  Checked to see if we could access the campground free WiFi and as you can all see, we have success.
