The friendliness of Iowinians (part three)

The mom and I were pedaling through Muscatine when an SUV passed us and pulled over in a parking lot about 100 yards ahead of us. A woman got out of the drivers side and started dancing around while giving us the thumbs up. As we got closer she started yelling "good job! Where are you going? Do you need directions? Do you know where your going? Whooooo!". She was very excite and made the mom and my day.

Later in the ride we had stopped along the side of the road to eat some food. A man in a red pickup truck passed us. About five minutes later he came back going the other way and asked us if everything was alright. We told him we were simply taking a break. He wished us luck, turned around, and continued going in the original direction he had been traveling in.

We are currently sitting in the campground waiting for Nora, Jackie, and Christine to join us. Unfortunately they were waylaid by bad weather and will be arriving late. Dang! We had been hoping for a brat fry tonight. Instead it was ramen noodles and instant mashed potatoes.
