Island Park, Adel
We went camping somewhere other than the Saylorville area this time. Island Park in Adel Iowa was a great alternative and just as close to Des Moines. Not to mention it’s right beside Adel, providing easy access to necessities.
Bonnie and Josh’s combined children show their superhero strength.
Richard got the rest of us in trouble with our significant others.
In case anyone wonders, my camera takes some good pictures. Luckily there’s no human intervention needed, it does it’s job then lets me know when it’s done. Now if I can only teach it to cook for me. But then again, my pans cook some really tasty food anyway.
We met this assumably remotely rural lad while he walked through our camp to get to the Raccoon river. He stood at our camp for a little while, telling us stories about his pa, ma, and other family members. After we couldn’t stand to hear any more we had to tell him to “run along now.” Nice kid, if not tear jerkingly boring. They must not have any neighbors or schools in his area. The kid sure can hold a fishing pole for a 8-hour shift, let me tell ya.

The gals played the game telephone with the kids. Amusing.

If you look at the fire picture, you can see a dog’s face. Good Pictures!
I see what you mean, but you have to look REAL close.
Yeah, and that dog is smoking! Say, what kind of camera did you use? And did you turn off the flash?
Nikon D40, yes the flash was off. The fire was plenty bright.
adel is a town of about 4000 people. Not very big but you painted that picture of that boy fishing to make it sound like he was some hillbilly living in the backcountry far from civilization. I’m sure he was just being friendy and didn’t realize he was talking to a bunch of big city slicker assholes. There is a whole town right across that bridge by that river so i’m sure he has plenty of neighbors and and schools in “his” area fags
