Monday July 2nd: We pulled out of the Rafter J Bar Ranch, and drove on up to North Dakota via I-90 W to US-85 north up to I-94. US-85 is a good road through the Dakota, straight up through the rolling hills. Our altitude dropped from the 6000 feet (plus and minus) of the Hill City/ Custer/ Keystone area until we topped out at the highest point in North Dakota at 3506 feet and down to the 2000 foot range. We stayed Monday night at "On the Heart" Campground in Dickenson, ND. The campground was on the Heart River which meanders through the area.
Tuesday July 3rd: On across North Dakota and crossed the Missouri river which came in from Montana and had merged with the Yellowstone River there. We also passed about 100 miles south of the Geographic Center of North America in Rugby ND and pulled in for the night at Jamestown. We will stay here for the 4th of July and get back on the road Thursday morning toward Minneapolis, MN. Happy Fourth of July to everyone.
