Get a charge out of a road trip

Some years ago when the Cenex station in Richardton installed an E-85 pump, it gave me an idea. I decided to take a trip from northwest of Minot to Rapid City and back using only E-85 alcohol fuel.
The theory was to fill in Minot, then in Richardton. That would take me to Sturgis, where I could fill there, go to Rapid City and take care of my business.
On the return trip, it would get topped off in Sturgis, then a fill in Richardton and again in Minot before taking the short trip home.

Thousands of fishermen annually take part in the Devils Lake Volunteer Fire Department fishing derby, the largest in the state. This yearâs event has been canceled due to concerns about too much weight on the ice.
DEVILS LAKE – It has been a much different winter than usual across most of North Dakota, including the Devils Lake region. Warmer than usual temperatures late into the winter season has resulted in less ice than what is normally to be expected on lakes throughout the state at this time of year. So, exercising caution, the organizers of the state’s largest ice fishing derby have called off the event for 2021.
