Leg 39, Salem, SD, to Onawa, IA (Friday), September 11, 2009 - Sep 12, 2009

We Getting Warmer Despite rain almost every day, it’s still warmer than that to which we’ve been accustomed in Canada and Alaska; consequently, we’re in shorts and T-shirts most days. We made the turn from I-90 to I-29 and are headed south, inching our way closer to home.

Kay’s Take This RV park has huge cottonwood trees and very nice, level sites. It’s also close to a DQ, gas station/grocery, and a McDonalds and Subway. Very little road noise. The bathrooms are beautiful – great blue tiles floors and walls and huge showers! I washed my hair. Gotta get a ‘color’ as soon as we get home!

Our Recommendations Enroute to Onawa, IA None

Campground On-Ur-Way RV Park, Onawa, IA was a great campground with full amenities. The bathrooms and showers were among the cleanest we’ve seen. There’s a Dairy Queen and McDonald’s close by, but we didn’t “try” either. We’ll definitely stop at this campground again, if it is on our route.
