Travel N Dreams: Spencer's Ride Rolls Again... ;-)

June 23, 2011

Departed America’s Mailbox, Spencer’s Ride is now in the shop being worked on hopeful that it will be road ready tomorrow afternoon. Big thrill today was watching the men working on the RV park we are at, trying to get it so it does not turn into mud every time it rains.

To help pass the time we checked out an RV store in town that had several things I wanted, a new latch for my door, shower head that turns off, and some small washers to have when needed. Also checked out the fairgrounds to see about the sites, ( no luck ) then went for dinner at a Asian buffet. By then it was time to call it a day so we parked in the parking lot of the shop that is fixing my unit. Fair is fair... I will be paying more then enough to earn a free night .. Both Kay and myself are feeling sick tonight, must have caught a bug.. .

Was able to get Spencer’s Ride out of the shop at 11AM, took it to the flying J to use the scale, took paperwork into office to have my Registration changed to SD, back to the J for lunch and fuel, then we rolled down the road. Only went a short distance today due to how we are both not 100% today. Stopped at a National camp site in the black-hills for the night. Around 6PM we had a hail storm, only lasted 5 maybe 10 min then it was over but oh my was it loud. Poor Spencer was running back and forth in the rig scared out of his mind, I had to catch him and hold him on the bed to get him to stop shacking.

Shot from my back window just as the storm started.

What the road next to my rig looked like.

Steam rising from the ground after the storm passed.

Early next morning, almost looked like fog.

This is Spencer, just in case someone did not know.

I wonder how the folks in the tents made out??? Well time to call it a night, will ad this and some photos when I get Internet connection.. Night for now..

Headed to see Deadwood SD today then on to Wy.

Did not take long to get to Deadwood, but still it was not anything near what the advertisements had me believing. So what else is new.... Did get a few good photos, and a cheap breakfast for $3.99, coffee included.

Good breakfast buffet for $3.99 (seniors ) $4.99 normal..

Street of old Deadwood

After touring Deadwood drove into Wy. and stopped for the night at a Walmart, needed to get a few supplies. Not sure what tomorrow will bring... want to be off the road before Friday, because of the 4th of July weekend...
