OUR ADVENTURELAND SUMMER part 2

ENDEAVOR'S greetings:

We are going to share our ADVENTURELAND SUMMER with you all in 2 or 3 post over the next 3 or 4 days.

We arrived here in Altoona on April19th. After a week down on the East Coast of Iowa.
The Endeavor and Lil' Red are docked in Adventureland Campground Z-22














This was home base all summer as we took advantage of visiting places and friends/ family in Iowa on our "off"time. Some of our early excursions found us doing /going over to Olewein to visit Rich,,, then in May we shared with the folks at Christ United Methodist Church , Belle Plaine, the past Ministries projects we had over the past winter.



















We were in Winterset, Ia. to spend a day with The Iowa Wild Roses. Escapees Chapter, while there we went to the John Wayne Home and a few or the Covered Bridges of Madison County.

We visited the Iowa Historical Museum; Where we were overwhelmed with all of the neat displays of Iowa History.
We also found the Iowa Military Museum, at Camp Dodge in Johnson, Ia. There we saw Iowans role in the military conflicts dating from the Civil War through Iraq. Highly recommend that when you are in the area you take time and visit.













As you can see Judy even managed to get us up to Reiman Gardens, in Ames. Also another must see Iowa attraction.

Then there was the weekly farmers market in down town Des Moines (which covered 7 city blocks) and had delicious foods to munch on as you strolled around.There were street corner musician playing for our enjoyment.















We really enjoyed our weekly Saturday morning trips downtown.


Of course it was in late May, that we began our Tuesday nights Bluegrass listening in Indianola, where we heard some of the best young folks and the various guest performers as they traveled through.



Next post will be when John's boys came to spend a week with us, along with a picture tour of ADVENTURELAND, as seen through the combined lenses of both of our cameras.

May God continue to Bless each of you.
and we want to thank each of you that support us through your prayers, calls and notes of encouragement, and those that share in our Ministries through giving either at Christ United or through Christian Resort Ministries.

Love and HUGS to each from The Longs On The Road for Christ: Judy and John along with the Traveling cats Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles
