June 22--Kansas to Iowa

Off Monday morning to Iowa, to find the area where Sailorsmate's father originated. Dad always said "Washington, Iowa", but we found out later that actually meant "the family farm, in an unincorporated area of Washington County, Iowa". "Washington, Iowa" is a lot easier to explain in boot camp.

We toured the town of Washington, because we decided it was as close as we could get. Main Street was being torn up on one end, so we had to get out picture from a side street.

And this is the park, across the intersection.

Drove through lots and lots of farming areas and spent the night at Lake Darling State Park; just us and one other camper--had the place to ourselves. What we couldn't figure out was that most sites had electric, but no water. Is this an Iowa thing?

    Well we have sun for the 6th time this month. Can't complain about heat, yet. Freddy says Charleston is more like Vietnam right now. They are trying to keep their A/C set to 85.
    all pretty much the same here on CC. Any ideas about Oregon? I will check the Bible to see if there is anything other then Washington, Iowa.SS
