When we passed through Madison County, Iowa, we decided to check out the famous covered bridges on some of the farm roads. We stopped to look at three of them but were a little freaked out that at all three we were surrounded by the the sounds of gunshots. We assume hunters were out in force. We just hoped that July wasn't Kiwi season.

We assume that you have heard about the plane crash at San Francisco. Tragic. We saw this aeroplane that also landed a bit short. It only made it to the roof of this hot dog joint in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Squirrels are considered pests here, but we think they are cute. This one we saw at The Czech Village in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He certainly wasn't afraid of us.
