The circle is complete, back at Henry's home in Kettering Ohio 6810 miles later...

June 13, Wapakoneta, Ohio

Well folks, as you can see from the map, the end of our journey is nigh. The first picture shows a very cute combination, 1955 Ford Thunderbird, towing a low profile caravan, beautifully detailed to match.  There was also a red 1960's Corvette also towing a red low profile caravan, unfortunately we didn't get a picture of it.

Today we went for a tour of the Fleetwood RV factory in Decatur, Indiana, then entered our home state of Ohio via a country road, past the local farming community. We have two nights in the last KOA campground of our vacation, which will be used to clean, pack and winterize before heading to Dayton and putting our Motorhome in storage for another year.

It has been a great trip, although we missed our traveling companions, Henry and Faye.  We will look forward to another trip next year with them.

Ohio is in sight...

June 7, Onawa Blue Lake, Iowa

Today we had a very early start, at the Service Center by 7.30 am to have our trusty steed serviced.  We then traveled to Onawa Blue Lake KOA in Iowa.  Lovely little park with beautiful big trees and as the name tells you, a beautiful blue lake.  Restful afternoon, with very little activity, until the usual afternoon arrival time of 5.00 pm, when most of the overnighters arrive.

What a beautiful sunset!

June 5/6, Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Yesterday we did a 250 mile journey from Belvidere to Sioux Falls, KOA, hoping to get our motorhome serviced today, that was not to be, so we have spent another night in Sioux Falls and are having the service done tomorrow.

So, we had a day to do some sightseeing.  We called a cab and went to Sioux Falls Park and did a Trolley Tour of downtown Sioux Falls.  This is a very old city and many buildings are built  from Sioux Quartzite, giving them a lovely pink colour.  The falls are beautiful and the park is well laid out and well maintained.  Lovely to see young mothers out for an outing with their young children, picnicking on the lawns in safety.

The main street is Phillip Avenue which is called the Sculpture Walk.  The street is lined with sculptures by local artists.  A most enjoyable trip.
