CORN, CORN, CORN

Yep, you guessed it, we're in Iowa, and the fields of corn go on forever. I've driven across Iowa a few times, but I don't remember seeing this much corn. Maybe it has something to do with the recent uptick in ethanol production? When we crossed the border from South Dakota into Iowa, we stopped at the Sergeant Floyd Visitors Center, to see if there were any attractions that we might want to check out. This visitors center is named after the only member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition to die during the Corps of Discovery's journey of 1804-06. Sergeant Floyd died from natural causes, and is buried near the visitors center. We left the visitors center, traveling south on I29, then east on I80 to a little east of Des Moines, where we stopped at another Wally World in Newton, IA. Other than what we might stumble across on our journey east, our next destination is Elkhart, IN. We have an appointment on Tuesday, the 21st, to have our Dometic Refrigerator checked out. Even though I removed some carbon from the propane burner, it was still not cooling properly while we were parked at the 3 flags RV Park. However, the last couple of days, it has maintained good cooling temperatures, even while traveling. That's usually my luck. When something is broken, it fixes itself when you have a technician look at it, then goes bad again after you leave. We'll probably spend a little time in the Elkhart area, since that's Amish Country, and we have enjoyed our time there in the past.
