June 21, 2013: Forest City, Iowa to Des Moines, Iowa

It thundered and rained hard during the night and was still pouring and black as night when we left the campsite to go to the service center.  Luckily we did not get any of the golf ball sized hail they were forecasting!  We were at the service center promptly at 7 am.  The technician came out and took it back to the shop and we waited.

At 10:30, the RV was finished, and we headed due south to Des Moines.  We got a campsite at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, only a few miles from the hospital where Jack's brother, Bill, is recuperating from intestinal surgery, similar to what Jack had.

After lunch, we drove to the hospital where Bill looked unbelievably well considering his major surgery.  He had no pain and he was already up and walking.  We ran some errands and returned to the hospital after dinner to visit with Bill again.  We were hoping to see Jack's nephew and family, but we missed them at the hospital.  We did get to see his neice and her four children (three of them triplets) who were bundles of energy and adorable.  Back to the RV before dark so we can back in and hook up the electric without flashlights.
