At the 10th Annual Little Roy & Lizzy Music Festival - Lincolnton, Georgia

 48 degrees here near Lincolnton, Georgia at 7:48 am on Thursday.  Predicted high for today is 79 degrees with bright sunshine.

Spent Tuesday evening at Hard Labor State Park near Rutledge, GA and got up early yesterday morning, dumped tanks and topped off the fresh water tank, as we thought we would not have water here at Lincolnton.  Turns out they just installed water lines a couple days ago, so we do.  (As a side-note, we are on a bit of a slope and down the hill there was a lot of mud and standing water.  Were told that a few days ago the waterline was installed and tested for a bit with no leaks found.  So they left the water turned on overnight.   Next morning their meter showed they had used 180,000 gallons of water overnight and there was a leak part way down the hill.  It was found and fixed so water works, but won't be parking any trailers on lower part of the hill.  We are parked opposite direction of many motorhomes and trailers that are really close together.  We won't have any trailers beside us, though have one behind us.

Anyway, we left Clarinda last Friday about noon and parked at Sudbury Motel & RV Park in Marengo, IA that afternoon.  Spent the evening with granddaughter Ashley and her family - husband Heath, and 1-year old David and 5-year old Jessica.

 After visiting with them at their house, we went to eat at the Mall of Williamsburg.

Saturday morning we went to Cam's and then he rode with us to Vinton, Iowa where Phyllis left her sewing machine for repairs.  We drove around Vinton a bit and then ate lunch at the Pizza Ranch there.

Cam and I walked around the railroad depot there in Vinton.  It is now a museum, but was not open to the public when we were there.

We drove the grounds of the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School there in Vinton.  It was the school that Mary Ingalls went to - CLICK HERE for info.

These photos are from Sunday afternoon with the antics of the young ones.  Always enjoy our time, though it is limited, with the family.

David is just a little over one year old, and is quite active and attentive.

Sunday the weather was nice and Cam fixed some brats and hot dogs on the grill.  Jessica and I batted a volley-ball around and David even got involved.

We left Marengo Sunday afternoon, spent overnight at Canton, Missouri, and was in Cape Girardeau early enough that we picked up Don & Vicki before noon and took them out to eat. We drove to Jackson, MO for Vicki to do some banking business and then spent the afternoon with them in their apartment.  For supper we took them out to Chic-Fil A and spent the evening with them.  Above photo is Vici & Phyllis finishing up a jigsaw puzzle that was on the card table--then we use the table to play some Chicken Foot Dominoes.

We left them about 8:30, returning to our trailer at Cape Camping.  Was up early on Tuesday and left Cape before 8 am and drove some 518 miles to a Georgia State Park - Hard Labor State Park.  They didn't put us to work and I haven't researched why the name.  Got there before dark and left early yesterday morning.  

Looking forward to a great bunch of entertainment over the next few days.
