Up early with the alarm, leaving this charming place for our next unknown, just east of Dickinson, ND, reputed to be a veritable boom town with all the new oil reserves recently discovered near there. Stops in all the usual places, before arriving at a reasonable hour. This place isn't far off the freeway, but there's still about 5 miles of dirt road to get here. Nevertheless, it was easy to find, and, surprisingly, we didn't have our choice of spots. With only six campsite, widely spread out, we thought from our research on Google Earth that one of the end spots would be best, but the three farthest sites were all occupied with tents, so we had to settle for a site that was far from our first choice, but would do just fine. There are water spigots on just about every other site, so that was no problem, and though it wasn't exactly level, the large loop made it possible to use the levelers with only minor adjustments. We found a place down below the site that was fine for a highline, though a bit of a challenge stretching across a gully. Anyway, we got settled in easily enough, another quiet place from the looks of it, even though we're not far off the freeway, and we're looking forward to a quiet stay here.
