We made it here to Osceola IA before noon, set up and checked in at the Terrible's Casino RV Park. This is as far east into Iowa that we have been on the south end. I was amazed as we followed I 29 up and over on Hwy 34, across to I 35, how vividly green everything is! We crossed the Nishnabotna River (I like to say that! It most certainly is an Indian name!) and passed under a very long coal train. That's the only dark colors that broke up the green besides the grey highway that we drove on! The corn stalks are reaching for the sky and the fields go on and on and on! There were all different shades of green, only broken up very rarely by a small patch of orange wild flowers along the edge of the road. No brown weeds, trash or buttery golden fields of wheat, just corn fields and bean fields and trees! We grabbed a bite of lunch (leftovers) and headed into the casino to check it out. Let's just say no escort was needed when we left! This park is very convenient and clean and it was nice to leave the house Frau napping while we went out. Paved Roads, Cement pads, Full hook ups and a small lake, complete with a flock of big fat Canadian Geese! It's within walking distance to the casino or they have a golf cart shuttle. A non reservation park, there were lots of places when we got here, but tonight it's pretty full. I think lots of them are just in for overnight. The parking lot up by the Casino and Hotel has been pretty full since we got here, so they must be pretty busy. Nice midwest
ern people with more of a relaxed small town atmosphere. Before we left Nebraska City this morning I kicked my coffee over so had rugs to wash this evening. Klutz is my other name! Gathered all the laundry up while I was at it and headed into town to a laundry mat. DH got some more of his book read and I got some things planned. Met a really nice girl there who's son just had a kidney transplant the first of the year. Her husband and herself just started new jobs, and their girls won a softball tourney this weekend, so she had a really positive outlook and pleased that things were turning around in their lives. It's nice to talk to folks that are surviving this economy with a positive attitude! Tomorrow we climb in the Suburban and hit the road. Haven't decided which way we're going first, I'll decide at breakfast. It has been a really good day for the first day in Iowa! Stay tuned......
