15 Apr 2019 - It's a Wrap - Home Sweet Home, Final Stats

15 Apr 2019

We departed Lawrence KS this morning at 0827 hrs and headed northbound towards Iowa.  The final leg of our trip was uneventful as we motored up Interstate 35 towards home.  4 hours 31 minutes later we arrived Cherry Glen Campground near Saylorville Lake, about 10 minutes from our house after driving 246 miles today.

Safe and sound at Cherry Glen

Blue sky's here today with highs in the mid-60's.

We own this place, right now at least.  Today is the first day Cherry Glen is reservable.

One other camper down near our loop.  Later a few more showed up.

The reason why we headed to Cherry Glen is we cannot store the RV at our house, even short term.  I know we did it before we departed, but that is the exception as we really do not have room for it there.   So we are not camping in it there.  We will sleep at home and spend this week unloading and cleaning it out at Cherry Glen before it goes to storage here in Ankeny on Friday. 

Well, thanks again for following along.  It was a great trip.  We are looking forward to the next one!  Stay tuned!
