    Northeast Iowa

    Any inputs on routes, towing a 303 with a 2500 diesel, from La Crosse, Wisc to Waukon, Iowa..or Lansing or Elkader? The back way looks like it might be narrow, hilly country roads. How about WI 35 Great River Rd from La Crosse to Lansing or Prairie du Chien?

    Does anyone have recommendations on campgrounds, preferably FHU, in northeast Iowa?

    We are planning a visit to northeast Iowa to do some genealogy research on the way to the rally. We hope Molly gets the OK from her orthopedic surgeon and we can make this trip.

    Thanks for your inputs.

    We towed our 303 through that area last summer doing family research as well. We stayed for a week in Elkader - I loved it because you are right next to the river for fishing, and can walk downtown to a coffee shop, bakery, library, etc. my wife not so much because our AT&T cells phones had no signal there. The roads are curvy, but in good shape. Hwy 52-13-3 are good. 128 north of Elkader is winds around but there's not much traffic. Backbone SP has 30 amp sites.

    Thanks for the inputs. We got the OK on our dog and will see you at the rally. We are going to try and stay in the city park in Waukon and in Elkader. I found great county maps on the Iowa DOT website (good enough to find current day corresponding to the 1875 atlas where I found family). BTW, our 303 is #314 and was mfg Oct 2013.
