CV Datum - Iowa visit

Long weekend in Iowa

"Welcome to Iowa" the sign reads as one drives towards rolling fields and open prairies. For the South Florida visitor, there are no strange road signs to attract the attention.

Welcome to Iowa!

Little town of Winterset (or Summerset as it could have been called if it hadn't been so cold the day the name was to be chosen... Birth place of John Wayne.

These are the bridges of Madisson County, Iowa. Yes, the very same ones from the movie. Pictured here are the Holliwell Covered bridge, Imes bridge and the Roseman bridge.

Here is that little horse again. Just hanging out watching the tourists drive by.
