Jamestown ND

Day 2
510 miles
1223 total miles
Fort McCoy WI - Jamestown ND

This morning I got up at 0500 and even though Matt said he would be up to see us off, we left quietly after fixing us a cup of coffee. Today we planned on stopping at my wife's sister house in Jamestown ND. We plan on stopping long enough to meet and greet and then to push further north. At Jamestown we will leave Interstate 94 and pick up HWY 52 to the Canadian border which is approximately 260 miles from Jamestown.

We ran into our first heavy rain since leaving home. Just as we entered Fargo it started raining. For some reason they ripped up the east bound lane of Int 94 for about 10 miles. There is nothing but dirt where the road used to be.

We made it to my Sister-in-Law's house. we had some trouble finding it because 7th Ave. stops and then starts again on the other side of the college. Her and her husband was very nice and we had a great time. We went walking down by the Jamestown reservoir. We walked to the small island there and afterwards they insisted that they take us out to dinner. It was a great dinner and we all had a wonderful time. I missed seeing my niece who is in Germany with some classmates.
