June 9 - Tuesday
We leave early for Miles City, an overnight stop on our way to Medora, ND. We follow I90 to I94 for a 267
mile day. We stayed here a couple of years ago and did quite a bit of sightseeing at that time. We are in
prairie country and the drive is a bit monotonous. The weather is good most of the way, but we see plenty of
storm clouds headed our way. It’s hot. Big Sky Camp & RV Park is adequate for an overnighter with very
friendly hosts and a cash-only policy. We went to sleep with lots of lightening in the distance. It moved in
and gave us quite a bit of rain and not too much thunder.

We all campout in different ways. Million dollar motorhomes, weekend trailers,
etc. These folks are pretty unique. With their homemade teardrop trailer
pulled by their ‘40’s era, blue, 2-door sedan, they seem content to sit in their
lawn chairs reading. The porta-potty-looking addition is their dressing room
and the trailer holds the bike rack. Their trunk seems to be where they store
most everything-clothes, food, etc. This couple is doing it their way
June 10 – June 11 Wednesday & Thursday
With only 150 miles to go today, we waited for the storm to finish in Miles City & the muddy depressions in
the campground to recede before we took off. Those muddy depressions were pretty deep and we’d seen one
coach have trouble getting out, so we waited a bit and the Roadhouse rose to the occasion once again. Our
day was uneventful. Gradually the scenery changed from flat grasslands to strange hills & mountains, mostly
green grass-covered rounded mounds, some tall, some not so much. Dark clouds begin gathering all around us.
Of course, to complete our day, it has begun to rain.

We kept passing rather uniquely named roads

In a place called Beach, ND we found the
cheapest gas of the trip. $2.54 per gallon.
Yippee!
No more flat grasslands for a while. Gentle
rain is falling and the green, green grass is in
sharp contrast to the redness of this ‘mound’
We’re within a few miles of Medora. Wish
our freeways at home were this empty
