Amana, Iowa

We woke up early and went for a bike ride around the Great Lakes Naval Station. This was a great place to stay while seeing Chicago. The best part is the RV lots are directly on the shores of Lake Michigan, we loved waking up to an amazing water view every morning. Our lot's front yard could have been a little bigger and it only had 30amp and no other hookups.  We did not have a problem with the 30amp, even in our 45ft RV, we always had enough power. Fresh water connection is just down the road by the beach house and the dump station is at the marina.

We got on the road before 11am, and it was a smooth drive to Amana, Iowa. We were setup and out exploring the area on our bike within 30 minutes of checking into the Amana RV. The Amana's have wonderful bike trails. When we were riding around a lake, we saw two sets of trumpeter swans swimming and a bald eagle flew by us. We wanted some good German food for dinner and found The Ronneburg Restaurant,  the Jaeger Schnitzel was very good!
