May 27, 2010 - Off to Colo Iowa.

Up fairly early this morning. Showers, breakfast and break camp. The tent is a little damp from the dew but not bad. A nice drive through rural Wisconsin and then cross the Mississippi at Winona Mn. It looked like a nice town to explore but that will have to wait as we are on a mission. We rejoined the interstate highway system and arrived at Twin Anchors RV in Colo, Iowa in mid-afternoon.
We had emailed this dealer as well so we knew they had a Rascal in stock at a good price. This is where we found out all Rascal's are not created equal - the one in Wisconsin had two doors from the galley area into the cupboards and three cupboard doors in interior. No problem - they took a matching door from another stock model and installed it in the galley for us - so now we have two doors in the interior and one from the galley to the cupboard area. We also had a spare tire installed - can't imagine why you would tow a trailer and not have a spare but it was an option.
It's Thursday and the American Memorial Day weekend is coming up so we took delivery of our trailer that afternoon and headed north to put some miles behind us in case we had problems finding a campsite tomorrow night.

We stopped at a county park in Thornton, Iowa for the night. It was quite a nice site and you couldn't beat the price - $7.00 unserviced and $12.00 with hydro! The park was small and was filling up quickly with people bringing their trailers out, setting them up and leaving to come back Friday for the weekend.
