It was 1,667 miles to Wall Drug when I checked before our departure from Margate, NJ. After a long drive into and through most of South Dakota, we are spending the night about five miles south of Wall Drug. The soldier who posted the Wall Drug signs throughout Europe would have been envious. So would everyone in NJ if they saw the posted speed limits.
We took the slow scenic route off of I-90 through the Badlands. My father and I had just been there back in October after our previous trip was thwarted by a UTI. We took refuge with my cousin Greg in the Black Hills at that time. We are off to see him tomorrow and spend some time. We are in no hurry, but I don't want us to impose upon the Griswolds like in National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation. The Dosch Family knows what relatives showing up in their motorhomes can be like! They call me Cousin Eddie.
We hear that it is supposed to be a good night to see the Northern Lights. Here's to hoping!
God bless,
Father and Father
