We went our youngest grandchild's 1st birthday party before heading to IA.

... and as we are leaving town, we find out we need to be back in 8 days to take care of family business. We have time enough to do this run, but any leg two is now limited to almost directly straight back. The plan is to do three back to back runs before being in town for a couple of weeks.

We did a quick stop at the IA rest area before getting to Forest City to pick up our RV's. As usual it takes about 2-1/2 hours to get to the PU and about an hour to do our inspection. It looked like it could start raining but just a few sprinkles.

No issues with ours, but a couple of women had a headlight out on one of their RV's so would likely be spending the night.

We stopped in Clear Lake for fuel. BB's unit is a diesel and the fuel nozzle will not fit in the 'no cap' fuel hole so the RV comes with a short plastic pipe ... problem is the fuel doesn't stop when the tank is full if you are using that pipe. (had to get back in the RV from the other side so she wouldn't step in the fuel.)

Ate a quick hot dog and were back on the road.

Pulled into the motel in Ankeny about 10 minutes after sunset.
