April 20, 2016 Traveling Thru Iowa in the Rain

Spring in the Midwest and east – rain, more rain, followed by scattered showers and maybe a little sun.  That is our forecast for the next few days and more.  So with that forecast and home not to far away, we put our blinders on and headed east.  It funny but we get like this almost every time we head home – like my friend Pam says – we become like cows headed to the barn!

We woke on Wednesday to heavy rains and it did not let up.  So by the time we got all packed up go, disconnected, connected the car, and dumped – we were soaked!

Not many pictures today mainly because of the weather and our windshield wipers wouldn’t turn off – just a little glitch!

We headed east and crossed over the Missouri River:

We did find out that this house was built for the grandchildren.  Cute – Smile.

We made our way to the Burlington Moose Lodge where we are staying tonight.  They had one 30 Amp plug and water next to their pavilion – very nice.  We enjoyed happy hour and supper and meeting some great folks at the lodge.

Tomorrow we continue our journey east so stay tuned and enjoy today!
