We got a lot of rain around 7:30 this morning, with rolling thunder in the background. It sure sounded good on the slide of our bedroom. Don’t think that there aren’t good people in the world. We met the nicest people in Iowa – from the shops & restaurants we went in, to the gas stops we made. People would ask where we were from and where we were heading and they would always say to be careful and safe in our travels. We missed a turn heading our today and had to go a ways down a two lane road to turn the rig around. Tony finally saw a place that had a pullout on both sides and had pulled over to wait for traffic to clear. The traffic coming towards us was a sheriff’s car and he pulled over to see if we needed help. (We had to make a detour because a bridge was out.) He and Tony talked for a few minutes and then we turned around and headed back on our way. About fifteen minutes later, going through a small town, a sheriff’s car was in the center of the road, lights flashing, and flagging us to the middle lane. It was the same deputy sheriff – he had seen us and thought he had given us mis-direction since we weren’t going the way they had talked about. He stood there by the truck, looking at the map and the way we thought we would go and told us that road would be very winding and marked on our map a better route to get to our destination. He just carried on a pleasant conversation with us about traveling and riding his motorcycle with his wife. He was the deputy sheriff of Cass County, Iowa. Before he got back in his tahoe, he handed us a card with his name and number and said if we were ever back in the area and needed anything, to give him a call. So nice, something he didn’t have to do. And God’s timing – when we made a wrong turn going around a bridge that was out, who should we meet from the other direction but a deputy sheriff. Thank you Lord for keeping us safe on this trip. The weather is very iffy tonight – possible thunderstorms. Campground owners made sure we knew what county we are in just in case of warnings.
