Another Corp of Engineers Park

We left Thompson Causeway COE park last Monday and spent 3 nights at the Isle of Capri Casino. We had no hook ups, we were boondocking but the lot was quiet and level so we stayed. Monday Ed played in a poker tournament but didn't do well.

Tuesday we traveled the area some and discovered that William F. Cody, aka Buffalo Bill was born right here in LeClaire, Iowa. We toured what was supposed to be the Buffalo Bill Museum but actually it turned out to be more of a museum of antiques from LeClaire. They also have an original steamboat that they are restoring.

Wednesday Ed went to play poker and won back what he lost in the tournament so we enjoyed dinner at the buffet. Prime Rib and peel and eat shrimp that was excellent!! We did stuff ourselves!!

Thursday we moved over to this COE park, Fisherman's Corner. It is a much smaller park than Thompson, but it is just as nice. Here is our site. Not on the river but you can walk to it.


Here is a white pelican fishing amongst the lily pads.

And the lily pads have big yellow flowers.


Tomorrow we move to Sunset Lake RV park. We need to take some time to wash and wax the motorhome before moving on.
