Day 98 - April 15th - Swensons Sales and RV Park, Minot, ND

7:30AM
Better get on the road northward and break trail for John and Brenda. They have gained conciderably on us and are now only about 1 day behind us and following the same route as we are. Will complete this when we stop this aft.
4:15PM
Just arrived in Minot, North Dakota. 415 miles under our belts today. A long day for us!! We were amazed at the amount of water laying in the fields all the way across South and North Dokata. Yesterday we saw our first indication of that dreadful 4 letter "s___" word. Today there was more and more as we worked our way north. But it was as if driving on a "Causeway", with water laying in both ditches and extending away out into the fields. We thought that as we got closer to Minot, ND that it would get better. WRONG!! Here it got even worse. Mouse River that runs through was flooding the complete valley bottom. All farmland was buried and many farmyards inundated. We had planned on staying at the KOA just south of Minot, but when we arrived found it under water. Searched for another and found Swensons Sales and RV park on the west side high above the creek bottom. Spent night here.
