It is a very humid 23 C as we continued east on I-80 to Des Moines. Fortunately, the highway took us around Des Moines on I - 35 and we exited on I-35 N towards Minnesota.
We passed yet another extensive wind farm with over 100 turbines, gently turning in the wind.
At noon, we entered Minnesota and stopped at the Welcome Centre for lunch.There was a lovely walking trail behind the building, which gave us a chance to stretch our legs.
We had decided to stay at Dakotah Meadows RV Park, which is next to Mystic Lake Casino and arrived there at 2:30. It is a very nice, clean park with concrete pads and full services, including Wi-Fi. My computer seems to have fixed itself since I had no problem getting online. Whew!
The campground provides a shuttle between the casino and campsites - too convenient! Naturally, we visited the Casino, which has over 4,000 slot machines, the majority of which are my favourite 1 cent machines!
We took the shuttle back to the park to call Jacob on his birthday, then returned to the Casino for the buffer supper. What a spread! After which, we played some more slots. By the time we left, Marcel had broken even and I "donated" $17.00 to the cause. It was a great evening.
