Finally, beautiful weather after 2 weeks. We are @15 miles outside of Grand Forks, North Dakota, I was thrilled to go into town and get my first manicure and pedicure since we've been on the road!  We are camping in a lovely and spacious site for 3 days. The countryside has gotten flatter and there are fewer trees. When driving we see fields of corn, barley, and sunflowers; the American heartland. I spoke to a woman today while I was getting my nails done. She told me that last year wasn't a bad winter; they only had several days at 30 degrees below zero. Needless to say, I've ruled this city out as my future home!
