August 19-24, 2017

We crossed back into the USA on 8/19 and camped at the Lewis and Clark campground in Shelby, MT.   I had left a small African Violet in the care of the managers of the campground when we crossed into Canada, so was happy to see that the violet was doing very well.    We only stayed overnight and the next day we drove Hwy 2 east to Glasgow, MT and stayed at the ottonwood Inn and Campground - very nice!  

Monday the 21st was the Full Eclipse of the sun, but on Hwy 2 in MT, the effect was only a slight darkening, similar to when a big cloud covers the sun.   We left Glasgow and arrived at Rough Riders in Minot, ND about 4:30.   We had an hour time change as we moved from mountain time to central time.  

On Tuesday we did some shopping and in the afternoon revisited the Scandinavian Heritage Center.  We had been here several years prior, but enjoyed talking with the docents at the church and also the museum.  

Wednesday we visited the Dakota Territory Air Museum and spent a couple hours enjoying the vintage planes.   Thursday we left for Bemidji, MN.
