It is our third day in Forest City and we hoped to have the
coach completed today, so we stayed close. As we have for the last two mornings
we dropped the coach off at the service center and went to Sally’s for
breakfast. Sally’s is a typical small town family owned restaurant that does
breakfast and lunch only. Nice little place, and the food is pretty good. One
of the fun things about being on the road is finding places like this.
We returned to the Winnebago facility and found a quiet spot
to try to plan out the next leg of our trip. The visitor center had a nice
comfortable area, but the WiFi was spotty and made our research more difficult.
We have a rough idea, though.
We returned to Sally’s to investigate the rumor that Sally has
terrific pies. Turned out to be true, and afterward we visited an area called
Heritage Park. This is an interesting attraction in that it is an assortment of
museums of early farming and industrial machinery combined with a large
collection of historic buildings that have been moved to this site from their
original locations. It is not fully available for visitors everyday, but opened
only for special events. It is, however, open to drive and walk through. This would be a great area to
return to on a future visit. The community should be proud of these attempts to
save the past.
Three o’clock rolled around and it was time to pick up the
coach. Turns out it is not quite complete. We are awaiting material to fix the
sink in the bathroom. I rushed the coach back up to the parking area to watch
the final America’s Cup race. The race had already started and New Zealand was
out front. We have to watch it on the internet and the WiFi was acting up. Through
the starts and stops of the service we saw Oracle pass the New Zealand boat and
continue to gradually build their lead all the way to the finish line. What an
exciting comeback from being eight down by wining nine straight. Unheard of.
Good news! Since they are not expecting the material we need
first thing tomorrow we get to sleep in!
