April Chapter H meeting
Our April Chapter H meeting was held at Felix and Oscar's on Westtown Pkway and 50th. They are so attentive and really appreciate us being there. 2 couples rode to the meeting on their cycles.
After having a very filling meal, we had a short meeting. We had 18 members present. Some of our members are already traveling and enjoying the spring weather (Bill and Dee) :).
Our wallet ride schedules and member directory were handed out to all members. If you would like more please contact Steve Patton.
We discussed where we would have our fall meetings and it was decided to have them at the back meeting room at Felix and Oscar's in West Des Moines. They were very receptive and excited to have us come for monthly meetings in the fall, starting October 10th.
Monday night supper rides officially start Monday, May 4th leaving Wynnsong theater at 6:30 p.m.
Several members plan to attend Region C and to go to Goldrush. Some are leaving early and doing some riding before or after the events. Please check the Iowa site for more details on rides and events in our area.
Everyone ride safe, be safe and enjoy the wonderful riding season ahead.

Finally get to ride!
Saturday, April 11th, was a great day and we decided to go for a long ride (about 350 miles or so). We went through Winterset, and waved at Jon and Rosalee as we passed their house as they were preparing their camper for a trip south in the next week or so.
We traveled down through St Charles and had lunch at the Welcome Center just off the interstate at Lamoni. They have added on to the center and now have a Maid Rite. It now has Amish style decor including seating that looks like buggy seats and hand made tables. You can see the rings of the wood in each piece.

We were unable to go check out the Nine Eagles State Park due to road construction and closure.
Watch out as you are riding on the county roads, as the farmers are in the fields and there is mud and rock in the road now.
Just north of Promise City, we saw 2 separate herds of buffalo. It is so cool to watch them graze on the grass that is beginning to green. They are such huge animals.
We rode through the (Town) of Confidence. Not a lot there. It has a nice little park...No gas station though.
We went to Lake Rathbuns' Honey Creek Resort to check it out. It is a very nice place facing the lake. You can reserve rooms, and some of the landscaping is still being completed. There are several "cabins" already up but not completed. They look quite fancy with most having a satelite dish off the roof. There are several more to be built. There were some people out playing golf on the golf course there.

We went through Moravia past Sundown Lake. More new homes are being built here, Unionville, Drakesville, north of Bloomfield, through Ottumwa, near Eddyville we saw the Elk Farm, Elk meat for sale, then through Oskaloosa, Pella, and Monroe.
In Prairie City, near the Caseys, is a large statue of a Buffalo and info about the
Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. http://www.tallgrass.org/
I am not sure we would want to ride motorcycles through the Reserve. We have taken the car through it and it is quite an amazing place if you have not visited there.
We made it back just in time for our Chapter H meeting.
There is so much to see and do in our own state.

Chapter H April meeting
Our April meeting for GWTA Chapter H, Friendship Riders of Iowa is Saturday, April 11th at 6:30 p.m. at Okoboji Grill in Johnston. If anyone has something they want to discuss please let us know. We will have individual pocket directories listing names and phone numbers for our members, available for those that want them and hopefully the ride schedule as well. Think about where we want to have our fall meetings, since this will be our last meeting before ride season starts.
Monday night supper rides officially start Monday, May 4th, 6:30 p.m. leaving from the Wynnsong Theater parking lot, in Johnston, Iowa.
To see what is going on for rides and events, please check out the Iowa GWTA site at

You can see pictures of the Region C Quilt that you can buy raffle tickets for as well.
If you are planning on attending Region C and Goldrush, if you register soon, you can save some money.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Ride safe and be safe
Steve

Spring is here?
Well, Spring is officially here and we have snow and blizzard warnings for here in Iowa for Sunday. I suppose the robins need to get some snow on their feathers before Spring officially arrives. We have done some riding but it seems less with all the rain and crazy weather.
Make sure that you have your protective gear as you ride and watch out for the potholes out in the roads. Many are being repaired but there are still several cracks and holes in the roads. Also watch out for the sand that has been applied due to the icy snowy roads. We have found many intersections that still have sand in them.
We are making plans for our many weekend rides and for vacations. There is so much even in our state to see that you could have great rides just on the weekend.
We have been to the Rumor Mill and the Pizza's are very good. They were very busy the night we were there and that is good for them. We heard that Breitbachs restaurant hopes to be open in June. We really enjoy the food there when in the area.
