We drove directly to R Campground in Charles City (slogan: Make R Campground your campground).
We made no stops because the truck batteries were failing. The first order of business was visiting the local Chevy dealer. The cashier there recommended a bar which became our home away from home: Home Base. Great bar, great people.
The next day we visited “The Little Brown Church in the Vale” of protestant hymn fame
and a Veteran’s memorial in Nashua IA.
The following day we visited the town’s Art Center and the Floyd Historical Museum.
Gene and Kathy, a couple we met at Home Base, gave us tickets to a Lion’s Club breakfast at the municipal airport where we viewed single engine planes.
Following the breakfast we went to the Cedar River and watched kayakers navigate the half pipe that the town had just installed.
That night we went to The Pub (Home Base was closed) and ran into Gene and Kathy again. This time we ended up with delicious banana bread and brownies. Between them and the other very welcoming people in Charles City, it was hard to leave town the next day.
