We made it to Nauvoo! The train ride was spectacular. Especially between Provo and Denver. As we went through Iowa, we saw mile after mile of flooded and destroyed crops and overflowing river. (The train from Denver through Iowa had been shutdown until the day before we left.) When we entered Ottumwa Iowa, the train went through a temporary levee that had been through up to protect the town from the flood waters. Across from the train station was the water treatment plant. It also had a levee built all the way around it. This picture is a view looking over the levee and down on the front doors of the plant. You can just see the top of a tree that is on the front lawn of the plant. It was quite the site.
But the weather is beautiful in Nauvoo. We have not seen any effects of the flooding, all the roads are open and things are going great.
