A windy night...i laid awake wondering when the tent was going to lift off....luckly i was still in the same place when i crawled out.
The bike ran its 50000 mile today!!! 
N48.37.702 and W 109.54.941 Well done bike...not far now!!!
Was really tire when riding...had to stop and have a power nap....stopped, removed helmet and glove, laid next to bike and slept for 15 minutes. Felt much better!!
- power nap location.
When i woke, i had a quick look at John engine...it was leaking again!!! We managed to ride the 60 miles to Glasglow with no problems. The first shop in town was a Yamaha dealer!!! (yes, i know it says Honda....but the sign next to the road says 'Yamaha').
The oil was not leaking badly and the man convinced us it was just a oil well leaking...we decided to push on and ignore it. The man at the shop told us about Fort Peck - a bit earth dam. So we went and had a look - the dam was not that impressive, but the spillway was!!
We rode into North Dakota and John found us a great camp site...it was warm and quiet.....i hopped for a good nights sleep.
