Ahhh! Relief!


We headed out this morning just before nine and the temp was already in the high eighties and it was ninety-five by the time we hit Saint Louis two hours later.





























After a top of 105 degrees yesterday, and a refrigerator that just couldn’t over come that heat, we were ecstatic to roll into Iowa in a moderate rain and temps down to sixty-nine. We are sitting here now looking at the sun going down after a great dinner. We have the windows open and there is a gentle breeze floating through the coach. It is nice not having to talk over the A/C noise. OK, there is a little scent of barnyard in the air, but this is an adventure – right? 
















The campground is still recovering from a severe storm that hit Sunday. You might have heard of the weather system that came through then. Besides a lot of damage to little touches in the park like signs and the cattle sculptures, they had three trailers flipped over. One trailer was still lying on its back during our visit, but the cows were back up.
































































This is the quietest park so far on this trip. It has been a very nice evening and we are looking forward to a nice sleep with these cooler temperatures. We will sleep in, then get the coach ready for the couple hour run to the Bissen farm.
