Sunny and 15C this morning as we drove past field after field of dry corn that stretch as far as the eye can see. Some has been harvested, but the majority is still waiting to be cut.
Passed 3 huge wind farms along the way, There must have been at least 100 wind turbines in each one.
At 10:00, we made a fuel stop at a BP station just at the Iowa/Minnesota border. NEVER AGAIN!
Drove up to the green handled filler & started pumping. Unfortunately, after pumping 9 gallons, Marcel noticed it was GAS, not diesel. At every station we have been to, the diesel pump is green - not at BP - their diesel has a yellow handle! The station called a local garage and the tow truck was there in about 5 minutes.
Hauled the truck to the garage, pumped out the fuel tank, put 5 gallons of diesel in and brought the truck back, all within an hour, and we were back on the road.
Apparently, this has happened several times before, as the girl at the station knew just who to call! No more BP stations for us! At least the weather was very pleasant, sunny & 26C.
We finally arrived at my brother's in Savage and will spend a few days visiting family.
