We have driven 2-lane roads this whole way, and I've loved that. I have to say that the highlight of the trip so far has been Western Iowa's windmills along 20 and 71. For many miles, we passed hundreds of these huge electricity-generating windmills. I didn't stop for a picture, but I wish I had.
The other part of IA landscape that I enjoyed is the terraced farmland. Western IA is hilly! Lots of cattle, and even a small farm with beefalo!
So.. what are we doing in Iowa? We're in Forest City tonight, and we'll be here for a few days, getting a few repairs done on our li'l Navion. We have a small leak somewhere between the water pump and the main water tank, and a couple of other little things that need to be tweaked. Forest City is the "Mother Ship" for our li'l Nav. This is where she was made, and so we'll get to do a factory tour and such while we're here.
We're parked in the li'l campground that they have for Winnebagos awaiting service, and here's a pic! How about that beautiful blue Iowa sky?
I shot this before the party. All of the people awaiting service brought out their lawn chairs and have been talking about everything all afternoon. We went out for dinner at The Lodge with one couple, Nancy and Jay from Texas.
And here are some catch-up pics. Here's a picture I shot of a pretty building in downtown Dallas:
This is Lynell and David in Dallas. We shot their pic inside this RV!
This is where we went with Lynell for lunch. Can you see US in this pic? 
And here is the long-awaited panoramic shot of the Texas bluebonnets:
Michael's on night 5 of his chemotherapy tonight and it's been going very well, with no untoward effects. We're getting along well, particularly when you consider that we've been living in this 23' RV for over 3 weeks! :D
