Before we left the Winnebago Service Center, Mike walked back over and bought 2 Audiovox walkie talkies which cost $124.31 after our 10% Winnebago customer discount. Of the 4 Audiovox walkie talkies that came with the Adventurer, 2 of them had quit working. Mike opted to get a newer model walkie because it had the weather channel which the older model doesn't have and they only cost a few dollars more.
After leaving the Service Center at 10:00, we drove to the Winnebago Rally Park just down the road and stopped at one of the dump stations to empty our tanks and to get some water for our fresh water tank.
Our next stop was at Sid's Gas station south of Forest City to get gas in the RV (31 gallons @$3.339 a gal).
We drove south on US-69 to Garner, IA and then east on US-18 to Floyd, IA and then south on US 218. We drove through Waterloo, IA.

At Evansdale, IA we got on to I-380 and stopped at 12:30 the Flying J at Exit 68. We only stopped here long enough to fix and eat lunch.
An hour later we crossed the Cedar River at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Just west of Coralville we took Exit 0A on I-380 to I-80 east and then exited at Exit 240 to go to the Wal-mart Supercenter at Coralville where we're spending the night. We arrived here at the Supercenter at 2:15 and had driven 194 miles from Forest City.
We normally don't stop this early in the day when we're spending the night at Wal-Mart. Tomorrow we're going to be stopping to do some sightseeing and this is the most convenient
Wal-Mart on our route that allows overnight parking.
After settling in here, I went in to the Supercenter to do some shopping.
