Jackson, MN

We had the RV oil changed at the Mercedes dealer in Loveland, CO on Seot. 2nd. Then we drove north and west to Saratoga, WY to use their free hot, mineral spring. We then camped at Saratoga a Lake campground. Kind of strange seeing a large lage full of trout and absolutely no trees. The elevation was 7000 ft. We then drove through east and northeast Wyoming to get to I-90 in South Dakota. It is very scenic and remote. Not many towns so had to carefully watch the fuel gauge. We stopped in one small town there with a beat up general store and 2 pumps. They wanted $4.89 per gallon of diesel. We didn't buy.
     Today we left Wall , SD to head home. Yes this is the town where Wall drug is located. We are camping at a KOA in Jackson, MN tonight. So far we have driven 6,115 miles. Home tomorrow.
     It has been a really wonderful trip. Very lucky on weather. Also, since we have driven many miles of very remote highways, I always thank the good Lord for our safe travels. As we left the visitor center at the top of Rocky Mt. Nat. Pk, with the road climbing up to over 12,000 ft., and no railing or posts protecting the vehicles, I am thinking , please no tire blowout. Thankfully, everything worked out fine.
