Heading east

Tuesday 3 September 2019

The Burkette's  were ready to pull out buy 8:30 we did the hugs and hand shakes and they were off. 

Nice sized site!!

Diane and I finished packing and we were on the road a little after 10 for a 239 mile drive.  It was an uneventful ride except for some construction zones.  A rest stop and a fuel stop and we arrived around 3:30pm at the South Sioux City NE Scenic Park.  Which is just west of East Sioux City IA and south of North Sioux City SD.  I bet the mail people love sorting mail.  The campground is very nice, large sites with some shade.  It is right on the Missouri River and has nice trails to walk and ride.  The best part we have hardly any bugs.

We had breakfast outside on the grill then off to grocery store.  We drove through town trying to find

Fall decorations!!

the route for the next morning because the on ramp to I29 is closed.  We found our path and as we headed back to camp Diane kept trying to get to a wine store. First I was on the wrong road, then in the wrong lane, then going the wrong direction but finally we made it.  Kind of funny actually just glad we had all day.  Back to camp several nice walks around the park.  It was chicken on the grill and a camp fire, nice evening, relaxing.

We were on the road by 10 am heading to Waterloo IA some 220 miles east.  We finally are heading east and back to PA.  Another uneventful drive we took Route 20 a nice mostly 4 lane highway that runs across IA.  Not much to look at just miles and miles of corn and soybean fields and some pretty

Unique style.

sunflower fields.  We took a short lunch break and pressed on.  My ear doesn't seem to be getting any better, I guess we will have to find another clinic.  We arrived at the Evansdale Deerwood City Park at 3:30.  No one was around Diane called the number on the sign and found where to go.  The park is old the sites are not very level and not marked and people park where ever they want.  Our first site was to uneven the Moho would not level, the second wasn't much better but we made do.  One night and price was right $15.  We settled in had sausages, a couple walks and then we came across this neat old Newmar camper and then called it a night.

Got up this morning ear is just plain sore.  We hit the road at 9:30 heading to Galesburg IL 190 miles away.  I was hoping to arrive soon enough to get to a clinic before they close.  We stopped for a quick

Love the Sinclair stations!

lunch and kept rolling.  Diane was having a great day also (ha ha), so she started calling to find a clinic, check hours, and schedule an appointment.  We arrived just after 1:30 and as soon as the Moho was leveled I was ready to go.  I was in and out of the clinic in less than an hour and we were off to get drugs. YEA!  I'll keep this short.  We went to CVS they had prescriptions but don't take insurance, called Walgreens they would transfer should take less than two hours, waited two hours went in they had not done anything, went to grocery store they tried to get script but Walgreens had just called, back to Walgreens wait in line again they can't find it, wanted to know why I thought it was ready, I got a text.  It was 6pm before we made it back.  We had a grocery store lunch at 3:30, so some snacks and drugs for dinner.
