July 17-21 West Des Moines, IA

We headed back south to Walnut Woods State Park in West Des Moines. Luckily our campsite was in the shade (beneath walnut trees) because the weather turned excruciatingly hot—heat indexes of 110-115. 



We didn’t do much touring except to visit the State Capitol which was obviously constructed in affluent times.




At the campground we visited the bird blind (That's a hummingbird!)



 and took a walk in the woods to the raccoon river.




The river is aptly named. Ray put out corn and bird seed one evening and we had seven raccoons behind our trailer. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a picture in the dark through our window.
