A little detour

As I reported yesterday, we were to spend the night in Little Sioux, IA.
Brenda called the CG and we were told that they were flooded. After checking, I discovered that I-29 was under water in several places. The Missouri river runs along I-29 in MO and IA.
We found out about the flooding before we got to Kansas City, so we came up I-35 to Des Moines, IA  where we are now.
This detour is many miles out of our way and made for a much longer drive than we had anticipated, and will make today's drive longer just to get us back on track. We plan to be in Mitchell, SD tonight as planned.

The campground here is large and is a member park that takes Passport America. This place is not worth $40 per night if we paid 50% PA rate.
It has rained here a lot according to some of the people that we have met, and there is water standing all along the passenger side of the coach. It makes for a messy entrance into the coach.
Oh well, only one night.
This trip is wetter than last year. But, all is good.

Ta ta for now.
