Stormy Nights

Storms started coming through Dubuque, Iowa late last night. Thunder, lightning, wind and hard rain. Needless to say, we got very little sleep. When its a nice gentle rain it will lull you to sleep, but when its a hard rain like last night, the rain really pounds the roof. We only had about an hour to drive today, so looking at the weather map we left Dubuque about 9:30am and just arrived at our new location before the next storm hit. It was a little windy but the rain held off.

We are at Thomson Causeway Corp of Engineer park. It took us 4 different sites to find one where Ed could get his satellite, but we finally found one. The park is very nice, we have a very long 50 amp site right on the Mississippi River. Everything would be just perfect if it wasn't for the may flies. They are all over the motorhome. According to the ranger, they only live 24 hours but they are hatching as fast as they are dying!!


This is our site. That's the Mississippi River. Ed stepped out of the motorhome and found this visitor.

There are turtles all over the place here!!

We are here for the next 3 days. There is another COE park a little further down route 84. We may check it out!
