2026 Road Trip - Day 8
Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026 - Banging across Minnesota and South Dakota, take a right in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and spend the night in Jamestown, North Dakota! After blogging, I Hit The Local Businesses - Jiffy Lube for oil change, Wampach's for breakfast, and Target for "personal shopping". And the I Hit The Road - after 443 miles (and 38 Post Offices, plus 2 closed ones), I checked into the
Super 8 in Jamestown, North Dakota at 8 PM:
Well, that was a GREAT BREAKFAST:
Nice wall-art in
Shakopee, Minnesota:
In Collins, Minnesota, I saw a nice flock of swans (?white Canadian Geese?):
Looks like a tough neighborhood:
Can't I stop, please?!?! I've never seen
"Helicopter Work" before!
The first (and only) sign I see for
Wall Drug today:
Just keep heading west:
Pretty flowers in
Granite Falls, Minnesota:
Public Art in
Montevideo, Minnesota:
Yea, I'm going to all those Minnesota towns:
Now I know why
56227 - Correll, MN has a Dead Post Office (but how did it get one to begin with?):
I entered
South Dakota just after 3 PM:
Is that The Church from "Haven":
I stopped at the Walmart in Aberdeen, SD. Between this Walmart and this morning's Target, I have definately gotten "my steps" for today!
Cool "Dakota Sky":
The 2 cutest Post Offices today - "56276 - Odessa, MN" and "57426 - Barnard, SD":
I entered
North Dakota at 6:48
Not much activity out here. Looking north, and looking south:
There is certainly something going on in
Edgeley, North Dakota:
I checked into the
Super 8 in Jamestown, North Dakota at 8 PM:
WOW - Thank you God for another wonderful Adventure Day!
Once again, Music for today are albums that I have not heard before (well, maybe I have heard some):

Pianoscapes, 1985 album, last heard never - very nice "new age piano" music:
On The Road: Natalie Merchant -
Tigerlily, 1995 debut album, last heard never:
Neil Diamond -
The Very Best Of Neil Diamond: The Original Recordings, 2011 album, last heard never - Very Well Done (I need to re-order the tracks by date):
