Final installment.

On day 15 we crossed Iowa, ending up at Fairport State Recreation
Area right on the Mississippi just west of Davenport.  It was a
nice final campsite, it had a bath house and we could see the
river from our trailer.

You'd think you planned this trip with fishing in my looking at where you always ended up.  ;-)  That's a nice area.  Brother of mine went to Augustana College just up the road in Rock Island.  I got throwed out of a bar there one night.

 Day 16 brought us home.  All in all it was a great trip.  We saw
more amazing countryside, and I got more familiar with the camper.
In the end I liked state parks as much if not more than the
commercial places.  Though they usually had only electric, that
was okay and I could dump and fill tanks when needed.  As a plus,
they were generally not full, so I felt as if I could wing it a
bit more (i.e., not have all the stops planned out ahead of time).

Could just be wishful thinking, but the state parks seem to have just a little bit bigger sites, too.  I agree with you on only having electric, too.  That also probably helps keep them less crowded because some people just have to be hooked up.
Anyway, appreciate you posting about your journey.  I enjoyed reading them and it kept me in the RVing mood while mine was in the shop.
