Forest City, Iowa Bound #2

Our motorhome was fixed on Thursday and we decided to spend the night there at the HWH factory. LeeAnn and Joe from California left on Thursday and we hope to see them again at GNR. Our other friends from Canada, Diane and Jim, also got their motorhome fixed on Thursday and they too decided to spend the night at HWH too. We invited them to eat with us at our motorhome and play Mexican Domino's. We had a wonderful evening. (1st pic). Friday we left for a campground not far from HWH. We had a beautiful day there but that night we had another terrific thunderstorm. On Saturday, we left for Amana Campground in Amana, Iowa to catch up with our Winnebago club members. Amana is an old German settlement with lots of original shops and restaurants. I'm sure you all have heard of all the flooding Iowa has been experiencing, well we got to see some of it first hand. Right in Amana we saw a farm that went totally unscathed on one side of the highway and another farm that was completely wiped out on the other. There are lot of farms that are still holding lots of water in the fields but the crops seem to be ok from what we could tell. You could also see where all the rivers and creeks were overflowed but are now back down to normal levels. Jim and I got to Amana early so we went into town for lunch and did a little shopping at the shops. Our other club members got in later in the afternoon and once they got set up, the ladies decided they wanted to go explore the German village shops. So of course I went along (just in case they needed help in finding the stores they wanted to see). We left Amana on Sunday and met up again just outside of Forest City at a mexican restaurant, (Canteen). After lunch, we got lined up (there were six of us coaches) and headed to Forest City.
If you want to park near each other, you have to go in the gate together. We got settled in and the President of the Virginia chapters invited everyone for hotdogs at their rig. The pre-rally starts tomorrow, Monday.
