Day Two on the Mississippi

We enjoyed a beautiful day on the Mississippi River.  We tried to called friends in DesMoines for a visit on our way through, but they are not home, so we just relaxed in our beautiful surroundings.  However, picture this: we are 75 feet from the water, but also 100 feet in the other direction is a double railroad track.  We're here to tell you that commerce seems to be alive and well. There must be 30-40 trains that pass this point, sometimes one in each direction at the same time, day and night, all going about 60 mph, rocking the ground we're parked on, tooting their horn for the crossing that comes into the park. One internet description of the park called it the BNSF campground.
