Fixed!

Winnebago found a leak! That’s good. Because if they can’t find it they can’t fix it. But find one they did. So they applied some sealant then waited for it to dry so they could test again.

Found another one! So they applied sealant to it. But their work day was ending and the sealant wasn’t dry yet so they came to ask us if we wanted to leave in hopes that it was fixed or stay another night so they could test it tomorrow. We decided to stay.

So the next day they tested that fix and it worked. But, they found a third leak! So they sealed that one, waited for it to dry and tested again. No leak! No more need to put a bowl under the corner of the bedroom slide to catch the rain! Yay!

But, it was once again late afternoon so we stayed one more night then hit the road.

Whoa! Windy! Too windy to be comfortable out here. It was supposed to be mostly a tail wind which we thought might be OK but it was more like passenger-side rear quarter gusts. So, we only drove two hours instead of the four hours we usually do and wound up in Story City, Iowa.

Which turns out to be a good place. Our park is right beside the highway but we picked a spot in it sort of down in a hollow so had very little road noise. Dave said he heard one train during the night but I never heard any. The winds are still blowing but we are not rocking; still we’ll stay here a second night to let the winds die down before getting back on the road south.

We ate a late lunch at the Happy Chef here. They had so many good things on the menu we may go back today. More than once. But, it is not a good stop-on-the-way-with-your-rig place. It has a big sign at the entrance stating the lot’s weight limit. The McDonald’s across the street has truck parking, though, in case you need to stop in this area sometime.

A truck that passed us on the way here said “liquid chicken” on the side of it. Eggs? Chicken broth? What’s your guess?

TTYL,
