The Great American Road Trip. Day 14. Buffalo Gap Campground, ND.

30% chance of rain means something different in North Dakota than it means in Southern California, because it did in fact rain, all morning.  We waited it out, for the most part, but the screen room and tarp had to be put away wet.  Whoops. 

Love it here.



Brewer Lake has been fun, but we can't stay here forever, so off we go.

We pulled over at a rest stop to make and eat lunch.  It is so cool having a travel trailer!
Initially we considered an A-frame.  Just for a second.  Eric would have been able to stand in it, but it would not be as functional.  We wouldn't be setting it up for a quick bite.

There is a hot shot crop duster in the background of this picture.  I wished I would have got the better picture, of him flying right over the freeway, almost tapping his wing on the asphalt.  It was insane.  I know we are in North Dakota, but there is no way that is legal.

It was a long day in the car, and we came close to pulling over to sleep at the rest stop at Painted Canyon, just two exits before the exit we were looking for, but we decided to keep going, to Buffalo Gap Campground.  
Once again, I found this campground on the AllStays app.  The price is listed as just one dollar sign, which in this case meant $6.  
Six dollars!  
So for $6 we got this campsite with no neighbors and a hot shower.  I know I said this yesterday about Brewer Campground, but you REALLY can't beat that!
After talking with the camp host, and taking a look around, we decided to stay for two nights, and check out Theodore Roosevelt National Park, just a few miles away.  It is nice to be able to make a change to the itinerary right quick.  It just keeps getting better with our Scamp!

  1. Rain in a trailer is truly special. Does the Scamp sound like fingers snapping when there is a deluge? What an awesome campsite and what a great, great deal. So fun. No rain in Tahoe!
