End of Fourth Month


Golf Ball Sized Hail
Today is the last day of our fourth month RVing around America. We only travelled 1072 miles (1725 km) this month as we holed up at Lake Audubon in North Dakota for three weeks to make the most of the beautiful summer weather and idyllic location. We have survived another month of storms, although last night we got hit by hail the size of golf balls and narrowly avoided a tornado. We had our evacuation bag packed, but fortunately it missed us by a few miles to the south. Walking around the campground today everyone is keen to tell me how much damage was done to their cars and RV's. Most cars had dents, and several RV's had their plastic roof vent covers smashed. Fortunately Murray had climbed on our roof 10 mins before the storm hit and covered our vents with mats and tape to protect them. Good job! Yesterday Murray caught his biggest fish yesterday, a 23.5” Walleye as shown in the picture above. He and Wes have gone back again today to try and find its brother! We only have three more days left here on the Lake before driving to our next destination, still in North Dakota.
