Slept in a little later this morning. Tony had his coffee outside a bit earlier, listening to the birds and enjoying the coolness of the morning. We played tourist after lunch. Well, I guess that’s what we are. Went to the historic downtown square of Winterset and visited the Iowa Quilt Museum, several little shops, a quick zip back into the quilt store, and then lunch on the north side of the courthouse at Northside restaurant, where some scenes from The Bridges of Madison County were filmed.
Then, we did our thing – in the truck, searching back roads. Our quest to see the Roseman Bridge. It was about 9 miles out of town and really cool to see with our own two eyes. There is a fairly large stream/small river running under it where you can put in a canoe or kayak and float/paddle 3 miles to a state park. Everything is so green and fresh looking. We played Clint Eastwood & Meryl Streep (ha! ha! ha!) and Clint took pictures of Meryl on the bridge. That was fun.
Back at the camper, resting. We have reservations for Custer State Park and Devil’s Tower next week, then we’re westward onward.
