In Yale!

We are in Yale Iowa at the Trailrider RV Park and we will be here till next Wednesday. Today when we were ready to leave Jefferson , our leveling legs would not raise. So after trying everything Butch could think of he called for some expert advice. We had to drain the hydraulic fluid so the legs could then raise. It is now on our list of things to get repaired when we land in Carthage MO in early October.


By the way, last night we went to Panora IA to visit with Donn Gordon and he took us to Fuzzy's for BBQ ribs. I must tell you they are Panora's best kept secret! Those are the best ribs ever and we will be making more stops at Fuzzy's on Wednesday nights.

We are enjoying our rural setting in rural Iowa. Spectacular red sunset tonight!!

In Jefferson Iowa

We are parked at Leo and Keri's for a few days. Yesterday Butch drove Leo's truck in the Pufferbilly Days Parade in Boone. It is a long one. Jason and Laura ran in the 5K race earlier in the day. I have many parade pictures I will get posted ASAP.
Also a beautiful picture of pecan pie that Keri made for Butch.:-)
