Cooler today - 59 - and partly cloudy. We are at the Edgewater Campground which is about a 3 on a 10 scale. Train runs right behind the campground and is really noisy. We are 220 miles further into the trip. We left the interstate and headed northwest to U.S. Highway 2. The first part of the road was beautiful - Really Big Sky country. Then a brief bit of heavy fog and light rain as we went up through a small range of hills.
We saw flocks of pelicans and lots of antelope. There are so many deserted farms and almost no traffic on this road. When we got onto U.S 2 we hit nine miles of road repair. It was very rough gravel road with no shoulders. However, not much shook loose in the trailer so we are probably packed pretty well.
When we stopped for lunch we found that the water pump in the trailer had stopped working. It was a shorter day of driving so Rick spent the afternoon putting the old pump back in. He had put in a new, higher flow pump before we left but it went bad and couldn't be fixed. It's a good thing that he brought the old one along. Rick got plenty of advice and support from neighboring campers - it is always a pretty friendly community.
