Ashtabula Crossing 

2016 Out West, North Dakota, Road Trip


Our plan as we left Lake Itasca was to travel as far as Fargo, North Dakota. What we didn’t think about was that campsites would be scarce on a weekend in July in a city with few campgrounds. Plan B. We called the toll free number for recreation.gov and got a reservation for two nights at a Corps of Engineers campground north of Valley City. We’ve got a grassy site with a view of the lake. Temperatures are hovering around perfect. The night sky is incredible and we are totally enjoying a day of doing nothing!
