Toledo & Cedar Rapids


Toledo Iowa



Toledo, Iowa... 
This is where the guys started in the morning and as Darrell & Dave began their morning ride out they ran into these two guys (sorry forgot their names) at the gas station.  They happened to be driving a county truck & as the guys visited with them they found out they were firefighters also.  They were able to get a few patches from them... So here they are & thank you!!






A Big Thank you to Stacy to help coordinate getting Darrell, Dave & Fred into Cedar Rapids Fire Dept.  What we learned was that the Cedar Rapids Fire Dept is actually in a temporary building.  In 2008 the Missouri River crested 32' & cause the largest flood in Cedar Rapids.  The buildings were 10-12' under water.  The fire department is in the middle of planning their new station & hope to break ground 2012.

Cedar Rapids

  Brad will be retiring on Sept. 10th, 2011.  He is the guy putting the patch on from Cedar Rapids.  We wish him the best & well deserved retirement & move to Florida.
