| Since our last day in South Dakota, we have been caught in this recurring rain pattern that was in Minnesota and now Iowa. Our first week Coralville Lake was at one of the upper campgrounds. Now we have moved to the lower one which is right next to the outlet from the dam which created the lake. Cedar Rapids had flooded streets downtown. |
 |
| Tuesday, 4 Sep, was one of our clear mornings during this lengthy rain pattern. But it was a short lived respite before another round of rain. We are in a holding pattern here as we wait for Sunday to make our next move to Amana Colonies to meet some friends. |

| While Tori spends a lot of her time sleeping in the bedroom, Dakota finds our footrests to be a comfortable alternative to sleeping on the floor. |

| Bob took the dogs for their morning walk to the top of the dam. The campgrounds are on the rights. Mid-morning we drove over near Davenport and discovered where some of this water overflowed the banks into the fields. |

| As we were watching College football, two groups of white pelicans totaling about three dozen birds flew overhead. |
 |
| Several landed downstream of us. With a full day of no rain at our location and north of us, the river has fallen by four feet. |
 |
| Curious site to see so many pelicans in Iowa. |
 |
| At last, a cool, fall-like day for some outdoor football watching. We couldn't watch the Buckeyes but the local rivalry, Iowa and Iowa State, brought out many campers . |
 |
| While we are several states away from our favorite team, there are plenty of Buckeyes laying around. |
 |
| Shockingly, nobody around here collects these shiny little nuggets of our former home state. We were the only people wearing our buckeye necklaces. |
