The 2008 GAMARAI trip will be August 21st - 24th
The date is set. The route is set. Lodging
and meals are arranged. Most of our activities are planned.
Here we go!
We will be driving through Carlisle, Palmyra, Sandyville,
Melcher, Attica, Lovilia and Albia where we will visit a museum and have
lunch. Then on to Blakesburg to the antique aircraft museum.
We will proceed to Bloomfield to see the unique city square and court
house and follow a scenic byway to Keosauqua to the historic riverfront
Hotel Manning.
Day two will take us on a scenic drive through Lacey
Keosauqua State Park and to the village of VanBuren County for a step
back in time. Our final destination that day will be Fort Madison
to see the sights, shop and relax along the Mississippi; even visit the
casino.
Day three will be a visit to the Mormon town of Nauvoo,
Illinois. We will cross back into Iowa at Keokuk and drive west
across the top of Missouri, stop at a unique antique shop at Exline and
finish the day at Centerville, again to relive history, see a
one-of-a-kind town square and relax for the evening.
Sunday will start out with a very enjoyable breakfast in
a fabulous old hotel and a leisurely drive around Lake Rathbun before
heading for home. We may have a stop or two on the way, but will
get home at a good time. The trip will be about 500 miles and
should be a lot of fun.
