Dan commented while sitting outside the RV in the evening: “Humidity.
That’s what’s different”. And indeed, in
moving from the west into the Midwest, we are back into humidity.
And humidity we had, in the morning---99%. It was very foggy, and I waited for the fog
to clear as the sun began to shine. No
luck. After a late breakfast and packing
up, I waited for the fog to clear as we left the area around the lake, heading
for the interstate. No luck.
We traveled through the rest of South Dakota, past Sioux
Falls, in the fog. As we headed across
Minnesota, the fog became less dense, though the clouds remained. The weather forecast was for rain overnight,
possible thunderstorms as a cold air mass moved in from Canada, with tomorrow’s
temperatures about 20-25 degrees colder than today.
The GPS took us along some narrow farm roads, south into
Iowa, and into Forest City, IA, the home of Winnebago/Itasca---the “birthplace”
of our Navion. We have an appointment
early tomorrow (7:30) for routine maintenance.
Meanwhile, we’re camping in the Lichtsinn Motors parking lot in Forest
City.
With rain threatening, we gave up ideas of grilling our
dinner outside and went for a lunch/dinner at a sports bar within easy walking
distance and had a cold beverage and a meal---pizza for Dan, a salad for
me. Now we’ll spend a quiet evening,
waiting for the storm to hit and getting some sleep before the early morning
appointment. Not much fun for Ranger,
but at least they will allow him in the customer lounge while the Navion is in
the shop.
