Since being in Forest City, Iowa, we have...
...Paddled 12 miles in a Kayak along the Winnebago River
...Attended the Forest City Parade
...Peddled 10 miles on a bicycle, which included a box lunch in a beautiful park.
...Attended seminars related to the motorhome.
....Dress up in costume for "Hollywood Legend Night" --- Eventually I will post a photo
....Taken a number of tours through the Winnebago Manufacturing Plant, the cabinet making
plant and the Stitchery Plant.
....This morning Ron and I participated in a motorhome driving challenge: Here is the story about that...
At approximately 9:00 am, about 10 couples showed up for the challenge. Ron and I were about 8th in line. The "driver" was blindfolded, while their "partner" held a two way radio outside the rig and guided the driver backwards through a "S" turn, a pathway lined by orange plastic cones. The goal was to get to the end of the "S" turn without knocking any of the cones down and in the least amount of time. Well, even though Ron and I do a magnificient job in parking our RV in our backyard --- a tight squeeze through the gates, I am ashamed to tell you that we did not get first place, second place, or even third place. We did win a prize though --- they called us the most entertaining couple. After the first cone was knocked down, I gave up on my "blind" husband, and just directed him to come straight back --- so we knocked LOTS of orange cones down === we had everyone laughing.
We leave Forest City, after being here 10 days, tomorrow afternoon. We will head for the Amana Colonies near Cedar Rapids, Iowa and will probably spend a good part of Friday morning there before heading for Decatur, Indiana and then take a southerly turn to head for Florida.
