The calendar now says September (How did it happen so quickly?!) and, for us, that means beginning another season with RVICS. We love the summer and being at home, visiting with our family and doing many fun things but it is always good to reconnect RVICS.
Our adventure this month brought us to Village Creek Camp, Lansing, Iowa. Adventure is the very fitting word because you can't get here (easily) from Hartford City, Indiana. There is a very long bridge (over islands etc.) that crosses the Mississippi River to get into Lansing but it is under repairs with a 9 foot width. You do not want to drive an RV across and we didn't. The final 3 miles was done of the dirtiest gravel road we have ever driven. Everything we owned was white when we arrived.
However, the drive here was spectacular. Old Muddy looks totally different in the north country than it does in the south. It is wide here but dotted with marsh, islands, water lilies, etc. Our camp is nestled in a valley between hills as this area is known as Little Switzerland. We are even provided with a little creek running directly behind where we are parked. With fall coming, the leaves turning should just add to the scenic quality.
As with nearly start of every RVICS project, we are meeting new couples we have never met before. This is always a treat and soon they become permanent friends. This team is smaller than some with just 4 couples but 1 of the couples being new to us and another couple brand new to RVCS. Already, we are getting to know one another and it will be a good month. We are the "outsiders" being Hoosiers with all the others having Iowa roots. Also, the staff have been not
hing but helpful is getting us settle in. It will be good to come along side them to help them make this place better.
If you think of us working, please pray for our safety and health. It appears we will be beginning our project on Monday with highs in the mid-90's.
