We've made the cross country trip to Elkhart, IN for trailer servicing. We're here over the weekend and will move over to Cross RV in Lagrange, IN on Sunday. We'll stay in a local hotel while the trailer is being serviced. We expect to be back on the road next Friday. At least that's the plan!
We had a unrushed trip over from Wyoming this year. We'd travel three days, then sit for a day. The days off were in Sidney, Nebraska (Cabela's) & Newton, Iowa (east of Des Moines). These stops let us rest and allow the trailer batteries to recharge a little bit from running the residential refrigerator while we travel. The trip was uneventful - the best kind - even though roads remain rough in spots.
One of the more interesting stop-overs was the Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens in Newton, Iowa. Generally, we're stopped on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, but being on the east side of Des Moines made a better balance of hours driven each day. We found a bike path that was near the arboretum and decided to check in out. Pictures below are from the arboretum. Late season, but still a nice distraction for our trip and day off from traveling.
So that gets you up to date with us. Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us. Until later, David
