We ended up in Watford City dripping wet. We are now at the launderama getting our clothes dry. Then we will head to the city park to camp. Would you believe there wasn't a vacancy in any motel in town. And, believe me, we tried them all during the down pour. It has now quit raining so we will be fine once we have dry clothes. We weren't even supposed to be here tonight. We planned to camp in the Theodore National Park. The picture of the tent (campground) on the map was right beside the Visitor"s Center, but when we got there the campground was actually 5 miles down a gravel road. Our trikes don't do well in loose gravel or sand, so we had to move on. From motel to city park is 70 miles again today. Donnal, could you post the elevation for today? The climb out of the park north was a "Lordy, Lordy" hill. I'm curious if it looks as bad on a graph as it was for real.
Off to Williston tomorrow to pick up trike parts and bear bin.

  1. It is downhill all the way from Belfield to Watford City except for a two-mile 4% uphill grade climbing out of the Little Mo valley. See my tonight's blog entry for graphic.
