Well, I decided to do the full 350 miles yesterday and arrived pretty worn out at County Line Campground just off of I-29 in Summit, SD.
This is a Passport America park, and a good place to spend the night with full hookups. This makes the third time I’ve stopped here. At the times of the year when I’ve stopped here, early May and mid October, I’ve been the only customer. It’s located next to a town park right on the edge of Summit. Very peaceful, and the cattle are lowing in the background.
Just like last May, I’ve extended my stay due to the high winds. There was no way I was going to try driving this morning. I even debated about pulling in my east facing slide. The weather guessers had this one nailed solid. I just hope they’re right again about tomorrow. Winds are supposed to calm down some, so I’m planning to reach Tamarac. It’s about 180 miles from here. I’ll let you know if I succeed.
Thanks for stopping by… talk to you later, Judy
Another nice campground. It's comforting to pull into a place where you have stayed before...you know what to expect. You are almost there!!!
ReplyDeleteJust getting caught up with you. Again super information and fabulous pictures.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels. Nice to know you had a familiar place waiting at the end of a long drive.
ReplyDeleteSpring travel is always a challenge. Our winds are supposed to calm down again tomorrow also. Not that we're going anywhere yet. Safe travels tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's like deja vu all over again! Or shampoo, rinse, repeat. Or... well you get the idea. :c)
ReplyDeleteFamiliar places are a welcome sight if the winds are or have been wicked. I think you qualify for PDD Gold or Silver at least. I don't think I've ever driven 350 miles. Wow....you must be bushed.
ReplyDeleteFor us, Today was windy... then big gusts of wind... then just windy. Guess it's spring winds all over. I like your plan to stay put... sounds good to me. I keep thinking of how different it must be traveling alone as opposed to having a partner... not that 2 heads are always better, but still..... I totally admire you and other folks who travel alone. Wishing you safe travels....
ReplyDeleteI bet it's nice having a campground all to yourself.
ReplyDeleteShort and to the point. Safe travels.
ReplyDeletewishing you continued safe travels. . .sometimes it's nice to just finally arrive, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are just a wind magnet:)
ReplyDeleteI bet its nice to know you are so close to your destination! Happy Trails!
ReplyDeleteStay safe, Judy! We had no choice and had to drive in the wind to get to Indy.....then to wait for the doctor to see John.
ReplyDeleteI'll add my wishes for safe travel, too. That was a long haul earlier; hope you have the time to avoid having to drive in high winds.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels tomorrow! I know you will be glad to get settled in!
ReplyDeleteWe had gusty winds at about 30 mph today...
Winds are supposed to be 12 mph tomorrow here, it may rain. Winds 10 to 15 mph for Fargo on Wednesday. So you should make it fine:)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have those familiar places to stay isn't it!
ReplyDeleteThese winds have just about exhausted me and everyone else. Looks like a really nice peaceful RV Park. Have good travels the rest of the way
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your drive today and I hope the only wind you get is a gentle, helping tailwind.
ReplyDelete350 miles is a long day. At lease you have a rest day in between. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteSuper windy here in New Mexico, too. A good day to take it easy and stay off the road. :)
ReplyDeleteDriving in wind not good.....Great idea to stay put! Hope you don't need Winter coats for your next assignment!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice park. 350 miles is PDD territory.
ReplyDeleteHey mom when were you going to tell me you were coming to Minnesota?
