Mount Pleasant is nice tonight





No new pics today. Here's more from Saturday. My Son's Rock Racer has made several trips across the country. He built this from scratch. They sell for about $50,000.
They race them on the Dunes by Silver Lake Michigan. The other one is Miss KayCee having fun in the park while we were waiting for the Balloons to go up. Tonight finds us in Mount Pleasant Iowa. I can't tell you about the town, or anything past the campground, except we will be hearing trains tonight for the first time in a long while. I just noticed it tonight while we're sitting here. We're not very far off the highway, but I don't hear that noise. We had a very nice ride across country on Hwy 34 late this morning after going to breakfast at the Casino, and not even visiting the Gambling Part. We barely got out of there this time by the seat of our pants! It was not a giving place, all we did was donate. I'm still ahead, barely...but luck wasn't on my side this time. I'm ready to be away from casinos for a while. The smoke factor about did me in, I have had a nonstop headache for a week because of it. They have a reasonable nice RV Park, but they just don't have enough non smoking area! We will go to Burlington Iowa tomorrow and I should have some different things to talk about when we get back here. They had rain this morning before we hit the road and the highways were just wet enough to give us a good spray, so we spent the greater part of this evening washing the road dirt off the coach. We have several guys staying here that are working on a pipeline around here, and they were sitting outside having a beer watching us work, so we went over and visited with them until it got dark. I fixed Chicken Stir Fry for supper and tested out their showers here. Brand new and very nice. One of our neighbors lives outside of Lincoln Nebraska and two more from Oklahoma, so the conversation was interesting! Nice guys. This park kinda small but nice and only 2 years old. I'm still having problems with my regular E mail account. I receive E mail as usual, but cannot send with it. If this continues I'm going to set up another account using G Mail because it can be configured to allow me to run it through my Office '07 Outlook. This whole thing is a pain, I can't forward or reply. I can copy stuff into my Yahoo or Webmail and send. Just frustrating, and if they don't get it going soon, I'm gonna bite the bullet and make some major changes. I'm trying to be patient with all the finger pointing....it's tough. Til Tomorrow, it's nite nite time!
