Day 2 Pocahontas

I ran into a number of hiccups getting a tent camping spot, but they are so totally understaffed and confused that you could ignore everything and keep looking for the right answer.

These people make Ida Grove look organized. I ended up 50 ft from the porta potties, access to water and the car parked next to the tents. I couldn't ask for more.
I headed downtown for something, anything. I found all the diet coke I could want, ice at the gas station for Chris' yeti and the information booth people were wonderful.

Now eating homemade klotchkees and, off and on, listening to oompa band. Chris and Roger are back on the road. Chris hit up the pie lady. Roger focused on completing the ride and beer.
By 2:00 p.m. Chris was in Pocahontas and Roger was on his second beer. Life is good.

After a general perusal of the festive downtown area we all headed back to the tents with the bikes. I had left everything open, including the car windows and rain was coming. The guys changed and we waited out some rain, then walked back downtown for dinner and the complete RAGBRAI experience.

Lots of good food and drink. l found a coffee shop I can stop at in the morning,. Yay
Everyone but me in bed by 7:30 p.m..Read more

We had trouble waking up and didn't really start moving seriously until 6:00. There was a concession stand inside our campground/soccerfield/fairgrounds. They of course ran out of coffee. I wondered back to pick up around the campsite and then headed back to the horrendous line. This means Chris was loose in the tent for almost 15 minutes without me. Of course he broke his prescription glasses. Rogers come through with some sunglasses and he had some reading glasses in the car. Still, it's early in the week.
The day is beautiful, Rodger and I had donuts and coffee. And they were ready to hit the road by 6:45 ish. This is a short day and that was fine.
After packing up I drove downtown. I never saw a sign as to where the non-gravel RAGBRAI bike should go. Lots of lost bicyclists. The Aspen Leaf Cafe had people out the door.
After gassing up at the Sinclair I hit the road. Just like at the campground there was no sweetener for my coffee. I'm almost getting used to black coffee.
Arrived at the main campground around 9:45.
Found a place to park and set up my tents. No idea where the porta potties will be. Should be interesting.
The tents are set up and the porta potties have been delivered. The flies are terrible..

The info booth has no maps for the next town. Grrrrrrr.Read more
