Thursday Sept. 17, 2015 day 51 Clear Lake State Park, site 154,
Clear Lake, IA
309 miles towing
We left the
campsite at 08:50, but had to go to the dump station across the street. We hadn’t dumped in 6 days since leaving
Madison campground and we were nearly out of water.
Took SD-44
all the way east to I-29. Went south on
I-29 about 1 mile and picked up US-18 east into Iowa. Took US-18 across half the state to the
campground. Arrived at 15:00 after about
6 hours of driving. It was 88o
and humid with lots of no-see-ums biting us.
Overcast and on and off sprinkles. We sat
under the awning with Journey’s Greatest Hits playing in the Oliver while we
did the cheese and cracker and beer thing after arrival.
Our site was
self-registration and was only $16 for an electric site. No daily fee like most state parks. That’s the lowest price I’ve ever paid for an
electric site in any state park. The
sites were all pull-through on a grassy surface, fairly level, but not much
trees or privacy between sites. It was
just a place to spend the night.
