Day 10 - Friday - June 5th

Almost forgot about yesterday.  Was tired but needed nourishment so found a local restaurant called Boardwalk.  They close at 9:00, I ordered at 8:30.  My dinner was very good.  Ordered a rib eye steak, (sorry we are out of baked potatoes), took french fries.  Started out with a bowl of soup, Italian Gumbo.  Told the waitress it just did not sound right, she recommended it highly so I tried it anyway.  Most excellent (wish I could get their recipe). They also served a cinnamon/apple bread and several pats of butter. Luscious. Then came steak and potatoes.  Only a good steak, as it had a large amount of fat. Then dessert was a single scoop of ice cream with blackberry syrup all over it.  I was very satisfied when finished and the cost was only $17.

Had an apple for my breakfast (rather poor complementary breakfast selection).  Traveled down the interstate until I picked up US-12 again and headed into Bowman, ND.  Refueled and headed south to Spearfish, ND.

A lot of beautiful country.  I love it all.


On construction spot and was stopped by the flagger for about 20 minutes.  She was a young lady, going to nursing school and working a summer job.  She actually really likes doing it.  Says this particular job does not pay much, on $14 an hour.  But last week she was working on in Minnesota that was a state job and they paid $34 an hours.  And, there is a lot of overtime.

Anyway on to Spearfish and I rode into town on the tail end of a thunderstorm.

Ending mileage for the day was 163,752 and the daily total was only 262.  Total miles since starting is 3,891.  Pretty good trip all things considered.

Nice to get caught up on your travels. Are these states you hadn't been in before? Hope you get a chance to see George again while around Denver.

I have been on this trip with you from the beginning, since I've been thru some parts, that makes it even more interesting.
