After leaving Canada, we stopped at the Red River State Recreation Area campground in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. Following devastating floods the cities of Grand Forks, North Dakota and East Grand Forks, Minnesota joined together to create a greenway that provides recreation and protects the cities from future flooding of the Red River. We enjoy our stay in this area to restock the cupboards, enjoy the city parks, browse through Cabela’s and view a movie and pretty much all within walking distance! This year we immersed ourselves into Disney-Pixar’s new movie “Brave”. We were also treated to a reshowing of “How to Train Your Dragon”.

From point A in East Grand Forks, Minnesota we traveled to Mitchell, South Dakota for an overnight stop. Wouldn’t you know there’s a Cabela’s there too? Then we made our way through the edge of the Black Hills and decided to return to Chadron State Park in Nebraska (point C). We stayed 3 nights before a long travel day with an overnight stop in Lyman, Wyoming. Moving on to our current location (point E) in Marysvale, Utah to ride the trails before returning home. According to Google Maps that is 1486 miles from point A in East Grand Forks to point E in Marysvale!
We stopped in Chadron a few years ago and had a great time. The same was true this year, except there was a bonus! Due to the drought, there weren’t nearly as many ticks!
We swam in the warm pool, practiced archery, walked the grounds, played on the playgrounds, and watched the turkeys meander through our site.
Now we are settled in at the South Forty campground where we stayed earlier in our trip to ride the ATV trails!
