Ottumwa Iowa. A great place to stop... but not for too long.

But on this trip I would sleep in the Element at a city owned RV park in the middle of Ottumwa, on the banks of the Des Moines River, presumably with fellow travelers. I discovered that "downtown RV park" is code for "people living permanently in temporary housing".
