Bismarck, ND






 We had a really relaxing trip coming up here to Bismarck. Both days with a tail wind, no mechanical problems and good weather. As usual, checking into the KOA here was easy and sress free. We have enjoyed the week spending times with the family members up here. 

In the afternoon of our last full day in Sioux City, having finished all of the projects that I could there, I decided to relax and fly the drone for a little bit. After flying for awhile and having it approached by a group of turkey vultures I decided to try out the automatic homiing switch since I had never used it before. It immediately dropped like a stone behind a large tree. Whoops! I had pushed the wrong button and shut off the props. I searched the hillside behind the tree for quite awhile and Janice came out and helped search for quite awhile. As we were giving up the search our grandson, Reed, came down and spotted it right away up in the tree. I called a tree service and they came out Monday and retrieved it for me. 

 Looks fine in the picture, we will check it out when we get back to Sioux City.

        

One of our granddaughters from Des Moines made us a hand painted slice of a log to decorate our motorhome entrance. It really looks nice. Thanks Larissa!






Looks like warm weather here this week.

Aberdeen, SD

We left Sioux City this afternoon and drove to Aberdeen, SD. His is one of the few times that we have headed to North Dakota with a tail wind. We are parked for the night at a Walmart and will head on to Bismarck in the morning.
