The Day The Music Died

Today we traveled to Clear Lake Iowa. The winds were uncomfortable to say the least, 25 or so with higher gusts from the Southwest. So we are trucking along I80 West and getting blown around a bit.

We arrived at Oakwood RV Park about 1430 and quickly set up and then headed off to the Surf Ballroom and Museum. which was the last place Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. " the big bopper"  Richardson, played before they were killed in a plane crash on February 3rd 1959. We also went to the crash site. Quite moving. You can read more here.
