fossils and sights!


This is the one stop that might have been more fun with kids.  We walked about in the gorge looking for fossils and had a snack.

There is the world's largest wooden nickel on the road to the park 

And Dennis pointed out a trunk stump that had been carved into a peace sign (hand with two fingers up).

We finally found an Iowa rest stop to pickup a road map.  And check out the sculptures.  The cooler sculptures were on the eastbound side but the long lens let me snag a shot of the pen.

And we saw the stack of grain wagons.  It's in private corporate property so I could only get a partial shot from the Kum and Go across the road.   Look under the tree to see the top 3 grain wagons



Now we are on the road making time to Des Moines to check on out a sculpture park.
