WE MADE IT !!!

WE ARRIVED IN POSTVILLE, IOWA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, WITH THUNDERSTORMS CHASING US ALL THE WAY ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA. AT POSTVILLE THE ROAD SPLITS, WITH MARY CONTINUING ON TO MT. HOPE, WISCONSIN TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER MOTHER, AND REX GOING ON TO FRANKVILLE, IOWA . OF COURSE THE THUNDERSHOWERS WERE UPON ME ONCE I STOPPED. IN FRANKVILLE I’M BOONDOCKED ACROSS THE ROAD FROM HOTH’S POND.

IN THE EVENING I WENT TO FIND MY OLE BUDDY DANNY BECKER. DANNY HAS BUILT HIMSELF A BEAUTIFUL CABIN IN THE COUNTRY, ON THE FAMILY FARM. THIS WAS MY FIRST TOUR OF THE CABIN AND IT IS AMAZING. THE A FRAME CABIN IS FACING SOUTH WITH AN ALL GLASS EXPOSURE INCLUDING A DECK OFF THE GREAT ROOM AND PATIO OFF THE BASEMENT. THE MASTER BEDROOM IS IN AN OPEN LOFT ON THE TOP FLOOR. THERE ARE THREE BEDROOMS AND THREE BATHS. THE OPEN GREAT ROOM WITH KITCHEN, LIVING, DINEING, AND OPEN STAIRCASE TO THE LOFT ARE ROOMY AND VERY IMPRESSIVE.

THIS MORNING I’M UP TO A WET DRIZZEL, AND FOGGY IOWA MORNING, SURE HOPE IT CLEARS BY 2:00 PM FOR THE THIRD ANNUAL “VIRGIL RUN TO CASTALIA”.
