Driving Southwest to Forest City, Iowa

A Vulture unfurls its
wings in a treetop.

Pine Trees...  I haven't
seen Pine Trees in a
long time.

There are so many acres 

of Corn between farms.

Eric points out the

sculpted fields.

An Amish woman drives
an open wagon outside
of Decorah.

This billboard catches

my eye...

A photo of John Wayne &

Don't much like quitters.

Followed by Smokey the

Bear....

Only You Can

Prevent Forest Fires.

The hay bales on this truck

are over-sized.

We cross the Iowa
State Line.

A stop at Mobility RV

Winnegabo Motorhome

 Parts.

We unhitch the Jeep &
wait in line to enter the
Winnebago Rally
Grounds.

Eric receives our registration

packet & moves forward.

The Registration Tent
is busy with incoming
RVs.

I follow our motorhome

to its parking spot.

After we plug into the electric service, level and put out the sides, it's time to decorate.  The Winnebago Grand National Rally theme this year is "Down Under."  It's all things Australian, mate. With that in mind, Eric did some shopping on Amazon.com.

Eric stands next to our 

motorhome with

Muriel the Marsupial.

We are flying an Australian

flag & a playful Kangaroo

flag.

Welcome to the Outback.

Muriel points the way
to Ayers Rock.









It's time to kick back, have a cocktail and plan our time at the 2015 Winnebago Grand National Rally.
