On the Road Again and Again and Again

Posted on by Sunny Weathers

We arrive safely in Spearfish, SD ready for our next volunteer job.  The volunteer campsites are not quite ready for us so we find a nearby RV resort and set up camp there.  Winds nearing 70mph are predicted overnight here and snow up to 6 inches for the next couple of days.  Obviously we should not be here.

We are long overdue for service work to our noisy leveling system.  Storm convinces HWH (the manufacturer) to squeeze us in this week.  The next morning after another terrifying windblown night we depart Spearfish for the tiny town of Moscow, Iowa near the flooded Mississippi.

Lots of unusual highway sights on this trip.  Here are some of my favorites.

Wyoming Plane on a Pole - Props still turn and plane weathervanes into the wind (this day gusting to 40 mph along the interstate)

Problems finding a level campsite? This guy has the answer. Just unload your bobcat and level the site before parking.

Why we never considered even driving a single tire off pavement in Iowa this trip. Flooding everywhere!

    Sounds like you are in a place that you should be going FROM and not TO. Snow in May……NO THANKS. :>) Hope you get the level thing taken care of, I like our jacks, not sure that auto level would get alone with me or not. :>)) Thanks for the update, be careful drive safe and good luck on the weather. GOD BLESS

      You are so right – even the locals are talking about leaving!
