Iowa 2007

Dave Simon, our State Parks Director and I arrived in Kansas City ontime and then drove for a few hours to Des Moines. It is very cold outside and lots of snow, but the roads were clear.

I am already impressed with the level of effort here for Richardson. Their are a lot of New Mexicans here and some others from all over the country. It seems relatively organized. As we drove into Des Moines we heard Governor Richardson commenting on the events in Pakistan. That is getting all the attention today.

This is one of the main gathering points on 9th street for the workers.

This is one of the boiler rooms. My headquarters for work will be at the Quality Inn Motel. This kind of effort is going on all over the state.
