We are now at the Shady Creek Corps of Engineers Campground on the Mississippi River near Muscatine, Iowa. We arrived here on August 20 with no real plan and decided to stay for two weeks taking us through Labor Day and just kick back for a while. We hooked up with Phil and Karon Noll, full timing Escapees, who are also fellow Obama supporters. They invited us to join them on Thursday evening to go to a local pub and listen to Obama's acceptance speech with a group of local Democrats. That lead us to signing up to work the phones calling Iowans Saturday morning asking them to support Obama. We had a great time doing our little part in what we HOPE will be a win for Obama - Biden in November. We know this is going to be a tough election especially with McSames choice of Alaska's governor as his running mate. After all she has so much foreign policy experience being the only governor who has to face down Russia directly across the Bering Strait each day. Also, she is a former queen and we all know that requires being a real diplomat. If you would like to learn more or make a donation to the campaign you can click here.
