Forest City, IA


We arrived at the Winnebago factory in Forest City, IA around one o’clock following a nice leisurely drive up from Clear Lake. The drive took us through rolling farm country, and as we are approaching harvest time we were treated to beautiful scenery and moderate temperatures. Lots of folks beat us to the service center and the spaces in front were all taken. We were able to find a space at the visitor center on a slight hill overlooking the service area lot.



































We are packed in pretty tight here, so only have slides out on one side of the coach. 

















We were sure to dump all waste and stock up on water in Clear Lake because we knew that we would only have electrical hook ups here at the factory.

Once settled in we walked Nia a bit and then settled din to watch America’s Cup racing. The weather cooperated and race one for the day was a very close one. Oracle Team USA managed to hold off the New Zealand boat to win by twenty seconds. They won the second race by a slightly better margin. They now need to win four races to take the cup. The bad news is the Kiwis only need to win one more and the cup heads down under.
