Back to Rock Rapids Iowa
I'm off to Rock Rapids Iowa for my 55th high school reunion of the famous "Dream Class" of 1953. 32 graduates, 16 boys, 16 girls. Iowa, as you know from the news, is the state with endless floods from endless rivers. But the word is that the Rock River is not rising and we will be able to hold our reunion Friday night at the Rock Rapids Country Club on a bluff above the Rock River. I’ll keep you posted. B3
P.S. For a slice of the Rock Rapids way, see my previous blogs on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and other cultural adventures in between.

Back to Rock Rapids Lowa were nobody remembered exactly when, the tradition was born that the little kids would go house to house trick and treating but the older boys could roam the town looking to make trouble and pull off some pranks.

Bill and I have a campsite in Rock Rapids as we get to know our way around (it took about ten minutes to get the entire city tour) and snag a site with electric hook-up as we swelter in the Midwest humidity. I took my last long training ride today north into Minnesota (62 miles) and hope to get another short ride in tomorrow before shutting down until the ride starts on Sunday.

Rock Rapids firefighters responded to a report of a fire at Cargo Body Products, 1209 S. Union St. Upon arrival firefighters saw flames coming out of an overhead door opening on the east side of the one-story steel building. Fire crews from George, Little Rock, Lester and Larchwood also responded. Firefighters worked for five hours trying to extinguish the blaze.
