Day one and two.
Wed the 15th. June not much happening. The Missouri River had I-29 flooded and closed, Rock Port MO to Missouri Valley IA. We had to detour up US59 highway, not really out of our way but rougher than a cob. We stayed at a IA State Park, Prairie Rose, at a lake that was very nice. Wed the 16th, continued through IA and into SD staying in Murdo, SD. We came through Missouri Valley, IA and the entire city was sandbagged, no water yet. Pictures at a Rest Area on I-90 over looking the Missouri River that has been dammed and turn into a lake. All that water is headed for IA, NE, MO and into the Mississippi. One couple we met had come through Pierre, SD and stated that the whole city was sand bagged. It's 8:36 PM and raining like the dickens but we're nice and dry.

ReplyDeleteThis is fun. Hope you guys have a great adventure. Look forward to hearing more and seeing more pics. Especially the bears. Would love to see a pic of Margie and the dog with their bells on. Could be one for the "crap box".
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are making pretty good time. Gary seems to be a little bit cold in the the picture. I love your dog!! Glad you have a watch dog on the trip...I'm sure he will keep the bears away. Enjoy every minute you deserve it....will miss you tomorrow at the Samaritan Center. I'm still jealous...what a fun trip to be on!! The pictures are great!!
