Grand Forks ND Again – Day 1 (Oct. 21, 2012)

Late in the afternoon on Sunday we set out in our Sprinter RV for Grand Forks, ND, about 1100 miles away, where Mike will help facilitate a workshop on Wednesday and Thursday.

Our goal for today is to get beyond Chicago, a six hour drive. As we drive, we figure out some new technology. Our GPS system has been updated so we discover new features, like different screen views. Mike “pairs” his new iPhone 5 to the new Pioneer AV-Nav system and we learn how to ask Siri questions. I download Pandora so we can find new music within the genres we enjoy.  I hope that figuring new technology out is good for my aging brain!

We stop around 11:00pm just west of Chicago, “dry camping” at a TA truck stop.  Finding a spot away from the lights and the motor noise of refrigerator trucks, we tuck our little Sprinter between two huge tractor-trailers and sleep well.
