Campout

Well, now I know why they call the casino at Oseceola,IA, "Terribles"! we stayed 2 nights there. Not only did their machines suck so did their campground. The streets very narrow in the park and so torn up,ruts etc.one way streets that you have to drive the wrong way on them to get out of the darn park, no bathrooms and showers and no laundry room.
When we arrived at Skip-away campground, Quails were here and Miles Stensland and his Daughter right ahead of us, then Shermans came in, also Tom and Rojean Anderson, we had a major thunder and lightening storm during the night...yup I thought to myself .."good ole Iowa" Large hail and 60 mile per hour winds predicted, and of course conditions right for tornados. I didnt get to sleep until 2:30 a.m. The lady who owns the campground said there was a little twister here, it sucked all the garbage out of the fenced in coral and some trees damaged. Not close to us but only 6 blocks or so. Most of the week to be like this, chances of thunderstorms!
Today, Monday,Rusers,Gibbs,Printy's,and some folks who haven't camped with us before, Bruces, (who have a 5th wheel in our park on A-3) have arrived.
We have had quite a few more r.v.ers comein,Andrews,Whiteds,Bensons,Andersons,Hejiks,Philipps and Marlene Prohaska is here, several due in today including, Berglunds, Matsons, Amos. Over 30 folks went to take a cruise on the Mississippi today, and then dinner if they want at the casino.
We all have t-shirts saying I survived the Rio Valley Estates winter Texan Campout, which we put on this monrning to go on the cruise in.The first picture was taken before they embarked on their cruise!
I heard from the Park today that there are several cards up for folks to sign:
Monica Kline, Larry Dixon, Jerry Elwood,and Don Gordon.
