We are home in Canby. First a couple of more comments on Minnesota. The most prominent feature that somehow I forgot to mention. Lakes. Minnesota is known for its license plates that state; "Land of 10,000 Lakes". I believe the actual number is more like 15,000. They are everywhere. The local towns reflect the abundance. Lake Crystal, Eagle Lake, Minnesota Lake to name a few. Nearly every town is on or near a lake. Randa's sister lives in Fairmont which has 5 lakes in its city limits. Lots of lakes. We enjoyed our time in Minnesota. The weather warmed up considerably hitting the 90's which helped me remember why we moved away besides the rust.
Our trip back home took 4 days, 3 nights. 1600 miles. First night at Chris's RV park in Spearfish, SD. Very nice, lots of grass. Second night at Spring Creek RV just outside of Big Timber, MT. The trailer was parked within 10 feet of the Boulder River. We enjoyed a glass of wine and crackers while the river rushed by. Night three was spent in Sprague, WA about 30 miles sw of Spokane. A sad site in a dying town but it was the last night on the road so we didn't care.
Arrived in Canby on Thursday about 2:30 pm and spent the next several hours unloading the trailer. Friday I took the rig to an RV shop. When we getting ready to load up in spearfish the big slide would not lift up and retract. It only went in when the manager of the camp and I lifted the slide while Randa pushed the power button. We were happy to get it in and decided to leave it in for the duration of our trip. I did discover that loading up is faster when one slide is already retracted.
It is good to be home, but there was and still is, quite a bit of work to do to catch up on the "honey do's". We are enjoying them.
