Met up with Roy, Lynn, and Theresa at the 50s Diner for breakfast. All had a great time, we took the tour of the Montana. Pretty swank for a travel trailer.
It's nicer than a lot of homes I've been in Rick...lol

From here they were going to Lost Nation Iowa (yes, that is the name of the town) another FTEer lives there. I looked it up because its an odd name, found out it is a short ways from where I bought my truck in Maquoketa Iowa.
