Day 2 - Heading for Cooler Climes

Not actually a very log day in terms of miles driven, but still a long day. We came from Boonville, MO to Council Bluffs, IA. The drive was actually about an hour longer than it should have been due to the detour around the flooding on I29. As we approached the place to get off I29, we were surrounded on both sides by water. It was like the interstate was a long bridge. The detour itself was not bad, but it did add about an hour to our driving time.

We got to the Horseshoe RV Park and had to maneuver all around because I had put the casino's address in my phone instead of the RV park. But, we finally maneuvered into the line to check it. When we got here, we were the second RV to park, so we were basically given our choice of places to park. We picked slot 1 because it had nothing to the left of it. You have to back in, and backing is not our favorite thing to do. We made it though.

It was so hot, we had all three air units going, but the inside of the coach was just not cooling. Jimmy went up on the top to check to see if the units were frozen up or something. Lo and behold, the front unit was not running. So, down he came to check the switches/fuses or whatever and we had tripped the switch on unit 1. So, we flipped it back on and headed out in the Jeep to Omaha.

Just so everyone knows, Omaha is where the College World Series is played. Our team did not make it this year. But we did!!! It was all locked up. It is very large, but not nearly so beautiful as the ballpark in Oxford. But, we can now say that we have been there. Sure would like to return with our team soon!!! We had forgotten the cameras (they were on the coach), but I took a couple of pictures with my telephone.

We headed out of Council Bluffs with the last (hopefully) detour due to flooding. We have to go east and hook up with another interstate which intersects I29 north of the bridge that is out. I don't know where we will go tonight, but it will be somewhere in South Dakota.

Heading to Where It Is Cooler!!!!
