It's been raining all day. Every so often the rain let up a bit then Gary and I dashed out to the car, which is sitting in the driveway, with another basket or container with clothes, camping gear, maps, paperwork.
This was a haphazard way to pack, so I will probably be re-organizing for a week.
After thinking about the flooding in North Dakota, I decided to call Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park in Mandan to see how things stood there. They stood under six feet of Missouri water, I was told, so I won't be camping there. The attendant suggested the KOA campground which is on higher ground. I am not a fan of KOAs, but with the flooding and a big softball tournament in Bismarck, I decided I wouldn't be choosy. I made a reservation and now have a place to stay four days from now.
Tomorrow, I leave at 10:00 a.m. I'll meet my brother Carl and his wife Sue in Ashland for dinner, then will drive on to the campground on Lake Wakonta. With rain forecast, I will likely be sleeping in the station wagon.
So it begins. Tonight will be my last night in a bed for some time.
