Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

I’m currently in my 24th year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click here
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon RV Resort in Acton, California. I’m planning to depart here tomorrow..
Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.
Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 114 miles from Stanley, North Dakota to Culbertson, Montana.
We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.
The day started with a light rain…
As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…
We decided we wanted to see the Buffalo Trail Museum which meant we had to get off of Highway 2 and get on this rough dirt road for about ten miles…
This is the main drag of Epping, North Dakota…population 100. Several buildings make up the museum…
Heather and Shelly were closing up the museum for the season when we arrived. They graciously opened all of the buildings and showed us around…
Here are some of the photos that I took. You don’t see a bank offering these terms anymore…
I wonder if Bonnie and Clyde ever used this pickup truck…
I thought that this might had been the first-ever travel trailer. Shelly explained it was actually the early school bus. Pulled by a horse and put on a sled during the winter…
This cabin was lived in for many years and moved to this site…
The interior of the cabin…
Another slightly different view. Sleeping quarters were overhead where I did not venture up the steep and narrow steps…
A photo of a photo of long-ago Epping…
A view looking out from the inside of the general store…
The rear end of an old Ford…

We continued on passing through Williston, North Dakota which because of the oil boom had many big and noisy trucks. We had been warned about the heavy crime of Williston so we continued on for another 20 miles and crossed into Montana and the Mountain Time Zone leaving the noise and hubbub of the oil boom behind. It was time to get back to the very light traffic mode of Highway 2…
We continued on for another 23 miles and arrived in the small Town of Culbertson, population 734, where we found parking at a Lions Town Park Here I parked at the back of the parking area trying to get a little shade which increased as the afternoon went on…
Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Yesterday was a lousy weather day. 94 degrees with high humidity. Today’s forecast is for 81 degrees with a couple of thunderstorms. Tomorrow is forecast 79 degrees.
We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.
Enjoying Lions Town Parks is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
