Life Out There

Yep… We found another Craig! This time, just 20 miles from our time spent in Decatur Nebraska. A couple of hours spent along side the deserted streets of Nebraska’s version of Craig. Another small town in America. Another town with a story of it’s own.

A dog, a cat, and their human chuck the mainstream and hit the road in a 30-year-old RV. Exploring America...one small town at a time.

Another day… Another 100 miles… and we found ourselves crossing over into Nebraska. First up, Decatur. Another perfect example of small town America… and all that comes with it. Another small town… another story. 9 days spent along the banks of the Missouri River would teach us more than we could have imagined.

Slowing things down. Taking our time. We pulled out of Akron Midday heading off towards Iowa's Great Lakes. A place I'd only just learned about a couple days ago from a fellow camper here in Akron. Spirit Lake would, as expected, teach us so much more about history around here... but it also introduced us to a few other things...

Here we are—Akron, Iowa. Just a little town on the Big Sioux… but for me, it became a place to breathe, to think, and to realize this journey isn’t just about miles. It’s about what you discover when you slow down.

An afternoon of trekking across Iowa would land us first in a cool little town called Le Mars. Then another few miles up the road it would happen again… A road sign, a water tower, even a high tech feed truck… all bearing my name… Craig! Enjoyed learning a little more about this little piece of The Hawkeye State.

Another short day on the road. Just 75 miles or so outside Thornton Iowa…the late summer heat of the midwest would lead us to a pretty awesome RV park in the John F Kennedy Memorial park on Badger Lake. A great place to spend a few days learning about this place called Fort Dodge Iowa. Not to mention a deeper dive into the history of Militia’s in America.

We were just 40 miles or so down the road from Silver Lake when we found our next address. There’s just something about a spot alongside a river. That’s exactly what we found at the Ingebretson RV campground in Thornton Iowa. A great spot to hang out for a few days learning about another small town in America’s heartland, disc golf, and even a little about the history of Militia’s in the United States.

We put around 200 miles in the rearview today. The drive down Highway 35 brought us to our next overnight…and piece of Americana. Another example of how every community we roll through has its own story…and its own contribution to this place we call the United States. This time…in the form of Silver Lake, and Northwood Iowa.

Who says “You can’t go back?” North Branch Minnesota showed us that in many ways…you can’t. The past is just that…the past. But in so many other ways…this place showed us that walking in the footsteps of your memories…is certainly time well spent.
