Don’t remember the name but in 2015 stayed in a hotel between Des Moines and Council Bluffs on the way home. I was too tired to care but I felt like there was a body under the mattress because it was so high centered. I have smelled dead bodies too many times and it had that odor also. Good...
Congratulations and awesome write up. My wife and I have 2 kids, 19 months apart. It goes fast and I got to watch my son drop a spike elk last year on a NR general tag, he will be 21 in a couple months.
