Day 3: From Minneapolis MN to Bismarck ND
2009.07.02
We all slept well in the cabin last night. I woke up fresh and fixed the breakfast for everybody... after taking my bath definitely ;). I had to also reheat frozen black pepper beef to be packed together with the rice for our lunch along the highway to Bismarck.

D helped out with the dishes :). Thanks to Kandaq for the water container. I was initially puzzled why he bought this... now I just learnt how useful it was. Hah! From our last year camping experience we didn't need this since all our tent sites came with water and electricity. However, this cabin did not have tap water on site!

Bye cabin, it's time to be mentally prepared for tenting. Heh! Ohh... physically too, D ensured all of us got daily doses of vitamins.

Just like our journey last year, we saw lots of hay rolls across Minnesota.

I like it when the speed limit was 75mph and it was just a straight road crossing the great plains. But, I gotto be careful though since we were carrying the cargo and... it was windy too!

Well, North Dakota and bisons are synonymous, isn't it. Btw, that was a huge rain curtain!

Nevertheless, we were lucky that the rain did not hit us. Can you see the tree branches in that lake? Weird eh?

D said last winter's snow must be bad it killed the trees, and the melted snow became lakes.

We arrived Bismarck KOA at 6.30pm. If possible, we would try to choose the campground which received 2008 President Award just to ensure the campsite is favorable by the campers.

We had more than enough time to setup our tent since the sunset was at 9.47pm. Wow! Traveling west is good as we keep on gaining extra hour due to timezone changes.

D was not that happy with the WiFi strength and he was told that the big trees were blocking the signal. So, we had to spend some time at the pool instead to upload pictures to this photoblog.
