But I have managed to get a full charge today (THANK YOU GALARNEAU), so tomorrow&#8217;s cold and overcast forecast isn&#8217;t too scary, not with sun being promised from Friday onward, and I will keep open the option of detouring to Bismarck if I do not manage to find the required services in Minot.<\/p>\n<p>Estevan is rather a large city for this part of Canada.
