Day 69 – Medora, ND to Jamestown, ND

The terrain became gentler as we left the badlands behind.

The Route
Today’s route was another simple one. We continued east on I-94 for 232 miles to Jamestown.

About the Day
We awoke to clear skies, a strong breeze, temperatures in the low-70's, and a pond under the front of the trailer. We had sun until mid-afternoon with a high of 77°. It became mostly cloudy by 3:30pm and there were a few sprinkles.

Getting Going
Waking up was easy. Getting hitched up while avoiding the mud and water, not so much.
The walkways helped us get around ...
… and connect the hitch without standing in water.

Along the Way
I-94 resurfacing provided lots of orange cones and miles of single-lane driving. Fortunately, traffic was light. We had smooth sailing all day. A strong tail wind did wonders for our gas mileage.

There were lots of wheat fields

Clouds formed as we approached Jamestown.

The Campground
We’re staying at Jamestown Campground just off I-94. It’s dated, but has full hookups, nicely shaded sites and an air conditioned laundry.
Site #27

Tomorrow
We’ll say goodbye to I-94 at Fargo and head into central Minnesota on US-10.
