Don't be thinking Chinese restaurants are any worse than any other restaurants. Most (many) restaurants you wouldn't eat at if you saw the kitchen.

Heading to Amana Colonies today just a short 90 minute drive, there for 3 nights so might get a chance to update with pictures there. Been hot here in Altoona with a heat index of 115 degrees fridge acted up yesterday but ok now I think coils froze up but and thawed ice blocked drain hole water everywhere. A/C working overtime first time we wished we had 2 ac units but survived all day in the water park and wave pool.

Kalona Iowa is 45 mile south. Might be worth a day trip. Go to visitor center. Take county tour. Cheap. Maybe free don't remember. It an Amish community.

Could you post a few pics of the property improvements they have made this year? If you have the opportunity and the time.

Thanks

We stayed at Mountaindale in 2013 with a FROG group on the Wild West Tour to Colorado Springs, Tetons, Yellowstone, and the Black Hills. It's a beautiful park, and David and his staff treated us wonderfully.

Do it down in the South. Sound travels much more slowly down there. You can notice it when they talk, bless their hearts!

Bob, will do. The hitch is placed behind the axle and remember it is still a twin screw, it turns quickly and we do not need the hitch over the axle like in a pick up due to the weight, some say it turns more like a travel trailer will post some pictures later.
