July 16, 2010.........Iowa

Good Morning.  Nice hearing all your comments.  I haven't figured out how to reply to you on your comments.  I'll keep trying to figure it out.

We spent from Saturday, July 10 until yesterday July 15th in Pelican Lake, Wisconsin with friends.  John and Jesse were in Vietnam together in 1966-1967.  They also happened to run into another Vietnam buddy. Tom Stephanik who lives in the next town.  John had just met him a few weeks before.  Didn't even know he lived near there.  They were all in the same unit in Vietnam together.  Things have a mysterious way of working out.  Tom came to the campground and the 3 guys had a wonderful afternoon reminiscing and looking over their old Seabee photos and books,  We had a great time with John & Sharon.  Played lots of cards and they took us sightseeing and then to Wausau where they live.  It was a very nice time.  Here is a picture of the 4 of us at their campsite at Pelican Lake Campground.

We've run into a bit of problem with the hydraulics on our motorhome and have had to take a detour to Iowa to go to the factory and get that fixed.  400 miles out of the way,,,,thank goodness Jesse was able to put the jacks back up so we could move on.  We arrived in Dubuque Iowa last evening and will spend until Sunday here.  We are sitting in a city campground right on the Mississippi River.  Going sightseeing today and Jesse will take pictures.  I still have to upload the ones from Michigan and will try to do that tonight.  On Sunday we will move over to Moscow Ia to the factory.  We have an appt on Monday to get the hydraulics looked at and will proceed from there.

Not much to say today.....I'll update soon.  Despite the troubles,,,,,still having a great time.
