July 7th, Forest City, IA; Chippewa Falls, WI, and Lake Wissota State Park

 July 7th, Forest City, IA; Chippewa Falls, WI, and Lake Wissota State Park

Traveled east on I-90 from Jackson, MN to Forest City, IA about 30 minutes south of I-90.  Decided to drop in on the Winnebago Factory Service center and ask a few questions about our RV.  That proved pointless as they handed me a business card, took notes on my questions and promised to get back to me.  That was 3 days ago, and no reply's yet.  Oh well...

After Forest City we headed for the Leinenkugel Beer Factory in Chippewa Falls, WI.

July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD

 July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD Did a relative straight route east from Ten Sleep to the Badlands National Park.  Stayed at the Badlands Interior RV Park.  The drive was very interesting from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, WY as we drove west on route 16 through a very scenic mountain gorge of the Bighorn National Forest.  It looks like a great place to camp if you are ok boondocking(no electric or water).  The views are great and it looks like a great place for mountain climbers.  After Buffalo, it was a straight shot on I-90 to the route 240 exit for the Badlands and the badlands Interior Campground.  That night we had the most intense rain and wind storm so far this trip.  Seems like the winds are very powerful out in the western territories. The next morning we took a short drive into the Badlands and saw some impressive landscapes. Our route east on State route 16 and I-90 from Ten Sleep to the Badlands Zoom view of the Bighorn Gorge e...

 June 20th &21st, Desert View Grand Canyon East We reserved a campsite at Desert View campground for two nights.  It was a boondock with no water or electric hookup.  No problem as my 400 watt solar panels and extra water tank did fine.  The weather was very nice with a balmy 90C in the shade with a nice breeze.
