What’s in Winterset, Ia you might ask? You’ll just have to
wait until the next blog entry to find out. Today is another travel day.
Where does milk come from? A stop at Shatto’s dairy farm for
some bovine libation. Shatto was another of those factory tours we found by Googling. Unfortunately we missed the only tour of the day, But, we did see them milking, though not up close, were able to say hello to the cows, a couple calves, the barn cats, as well as purchase a few items from their store. Ten years and still going so we thanked them and wished them continued luck in the business.
Lunch stop at a nice little city park in Lamoni. A previous
birthday party left behind enough sidewalk caulk to keep Rosalie busy drawing
while the oldsters made lunch.
Turned off the freeway heading to Winterset. It turns out we arrived in the small town of St. Charles just in to time to almost run over a parade. As we were headed into town a bit past 6 pm we noted something a bit odd down the street. A bunch of flashing lights, tractors and people lining the streets. We figured it was not for us. But the road was blocked so we pulled over and partook of the local parade for about 45 mins or so. Stocked up on candy, learned about a local B & B from a very nice talkative native lady then made our excuses and headed out.

Arrived in Winterset at the city campground. Park was almost full to capacity due to a Good Sam get together. This was the first camp ground we went to without reservations so were a bit concerned all day. It’s a city run camp and of course today was Saturday, no city folks answering the phone so we could not even try to find out how busy they were. The fall back spot was 30 miles back the way we came at a casino. But we are here and did find a spot.
