Cedar Rapids Visitors

by Keith

Tom and Dianne came to Cedar Rapids today! It was great to get together with friends from Rockport 35 RV Park.


They are camping for a couple of weeks at a CoE park near Thomson, IL. That's less than 100 miles straight east of Cedar Rapids, basically across the river from Clinton, IA.

The reported on the wildlife activities at their park: mom and pop geese with 13 young ones following, and another with 10, and another with only 1. Then there are the turtles who come up on shore and lay their eggs, with the nest locations promptly recorded by students of wildlife.

And then there are the bullfrogs: big and loud! And they croak all day and all night, according to Tom and Dianne. They're thankful that they have air conditioning so they can close the doors and windows and get some quiet to sleep.
