Our trailer, Lucy, is back and the door opens and closes easily! Most of the other bugs are fixed, although there's still a hitch in the hitch system. I guess that's a problem when you buy a camper from one dealer and the hitch from another. We'll get it worked out. Anyway, we are loving this new abode.
So we are at Tailwater West at Coralville Lake near Iowa City--much closer to home--for what promises to be a weekend of perfect camping weather. When we were thinking of ordering this camper and were on our month long trip in the south, we watched in vain for a Highland Ridge Light, hoping to get a tour and talk to the owners. An hour after we pulled in here, another one parked right next to us. Go figure.
The interesting thing about this campground is that it is below Coralville Dam--hence the name--and as long as the dam doesn't break, it is a great spot. Sometimes in the early morning, the local turkey vultures land on the rocky slope of the dam and spread their wings out to dry them.

Last night, the Ottaways did lasagna in their Dutch oven and it was fabulous! As was the bread, salad, and raspberry/blueberry/angel food cake/pudding dessert. We have no plans except a little hiking and laying around.
And, by the way, if you're looking for a quick read this weekend, The Time Travel Trailer is free to day for Kindle!
