Thursday morning dawned with more cloud in the sky, but we soon drove out of the clouds and few snowflakes into sunshine, which continued the whole way to Grand Forks. We stopped several times at rest stops for a stretch and a washroom break. The design of the North Dakota rest stops is quite beautiful, with relief carving in the brickwork of the building façade. We drove the entire day on freeway, first I-94 and then I-29, so the miles went quickly. In the office of our campground, there are pictures of the floods in 1997 which completed flooded the area in which we are camping, even though we are some distance from the Red River. On our way, a deer crossed the road in front of our camper and then seemed very confused and darted about the median. It is easy to see how they get killed on the roads. We arrived quite early in the afternoon and have taken the opportunity to get our laundry washed and get organized for our arrival in Winnipeg tomorrow.
