Clear Lake State Park

The town of Clear Lake Iowa is not very big but it is a wonderful resort town. The park is on the water. The beach is full of people along with boats anchored everywhere.

On weekends the campgrounds fill up.

The houses are neat with some interesting art. Here’s the disappearing mermaid.

This is the pyramid house. An interesting place to live!

On a scary note, the fire hydrants have sticks attached to them so they can be found in the winter snow. They were about 5’ high. A local mentioned that the snow has gotten much higher than that in the past.

The latest issue with our RV is the door. John was outside the RV when I hear him yelling to me to unlock the door. I hadn’t locked it. Turns out a part broke in the latch. John fixed it so that the lock will keep the door closed but the latch portion was removed. Until we get to an RV store, we’ll work around this and use the front cab door more.

On a better note, turns out our RV neighbors are originally from Germany and the wife’s mother’s name is the same as my maiden name. She is also fairly short. We figure we’re long lost cousins!
