| Preacher.. If 65 is under construction from 20 into town.. They might come back through Alden... For those of us that can't make the escort mission what do you think of the idea of lining up along the parking lot side with flags? We can park in the school lot and stand on the sidewalk....on one or both sides... |

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and her daughter which are left behind. I want to be there, but need help locating the meeting place (I just moved from Omaha). Can someone help me?

For Carl Frank of Ankeny,
I am coming in from Omaha on Tuesday evening and spending the night in Ankeny. If you want to ride out Wednesday morning with me let me know today sometime before 1430. My name is Dave Charles and will be at Days Inn Ankeny. Will bring your phone number and give you a shout if you wish this evening.

Reb, sounds like a good idea. There is no set time frame for arrival in Iowa Falls, so you might be there for awhile.
If anyone wants to participate in this, the information regarding the VISITATION MISSION, as posted earlier, would apply with the following changes; Be there along the sidewalk by 7:00pm. IF the schedule holds, the motorcade should arrive by 7:30pm. If delays occur, we will try to get a message forwarded ASAP.
After 1:00pm today, I will be off line and on my way to DSM. I will be carrying my girl friend's cell ph. (563) 505 5049. The voice mail anwers as "Sue", go ahead and leave a msg.
Ride safe,
Preach |

Honored to be a part of the escort, wish I could be there for the honor
mission also. Leaving shortly from way up N.E. Iowa. 5+ hour trip one
way but a very small sacrifice compared. All going ride safe,
I'll see you in DM.

Preach,
Will be in DSM for the escort. Have contacted everyone I can think of here in Iowa Falls regarding the arrival of the escort, and inviting them to spread the word.

Just a note on directions on people coming from the north, is continue on I-35 so. to Latimer/hwy 3 exit, go east approx. 9 miles to co. rd. S-41 you can only go south, 15 miles and your in Iowa Falls, approx. 13 miles you'll hook up with hwy 65. I was on it last wk-end and there was no const. this route is quicker and shorter then going thru Mason City or Hampton. Just for your info.
I just checked this route out today. It still looks good. S-41 is also called Mallard (offically)or "Steven's street" (by the locals), in case you ask directions.
It is an easy route once you find it. Just head south to the stop sign and then south into Iowa Falls.
Reminder to everyone, especially if riding at night, we have a lot of deer in this area!
Please be carefull!!
