4/24-4/25/2011 Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

What in the world are we doing in an area where the temp doesn’t get out of the 40’s? Why are we here???? We don’t do cold! This is a real shock to our system after leaving Arizona where temps were in the mid 80’s when we left.



Bob did venture out for a walk to see the town. There wasn’t a whole lot to Seibert. In fact, this town doesn’t even have paved roads which really kind of surprised me. There’s probably a hundred, or perhaps a few less, homes in this town. We saw a grocery store, about 1.5 times the size of a 7-11 convenience store, a post office, a grain mill, several closed down businesses and the campground where we’re staying. That in a nutshell is Seibert. If the campgrounds owners are any indication this is one friendly town! This couple could not do enough for us! In fact, on Easter morning Bob went out to get something out of the truck and found an Easter basket filled with candy for us. Granted, it wasn’t a big basket, but it was CHOCOLATE!



I ventured out to go to the store to pick up rolls for our dinner and got hit with sticker shock when I priced things in the store. Surely, there must be a bigger town close by with a full size grocery store and much lower prices. This was just a half size bigger than a 7-11 but their prices were twice the size. I don’t imagine that the townspeople do a week’s worth of grocery shopping here but they did seem to carry everything you would need.



We’ve decided to move on tomorrow. It’s time to hit the road again.
