Travel Day to Dickinson, ND

Well we left our friend's Pam and Rick Perry's house in Billings this morning.  It was a beautiful travel day.  Hardly any breeze what-so-ever, so wind was not a bother to the motorhome.
Filled the motorhome with fuel on our way out of Billings.  Mike depended totally on the Garmin to get us back onto the highway.  Mike already knew how to get there, but decided to let the Garmin lead the way.  Sheesh, it only took us three miles out of our way through Billings.  Quite interesting to say the least.  But we got on the highway and were on our way to good ole North Dakota.
While traveling along Interstate 94 beside the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Mike told me to keep an eye out for buffalo.  Believe it or not I actually saw one climbing up the hill.  I still can't believe how huge they are.  The ones that they have in the zoo's out in California are the size of baby calves compared to the full grown version in the wild.  They are just beautiful!  Dangerous but beautiful!
Arrived in Dickinson around 5:30 p.m. and went straight to the campground.  We actually arrived a day earlier than anticipated due to good travel/driving times.  Once we got all checked in and got to our campsite, Mike busied himself with getting the motorhome set up.  I did all of the inside tasks of getting things set up inside as well as getting the TV satellite set up.  That was interesting.  It took quite a while for the DirecTV dish to find the satellite signal.  But luckily it did and we have TV.  Cool!
Tomorrow we head over to my Dad's house to begin our two week visit with him.  Looks like we will be here for Dickinson's Roughrider Days.  That should be fun if we get a chance to go to any of the events.  Time will tell. 
Well, we are tired and needing to get to bed.  Can't believe we've already been gone from California for a  week!
