Leading up to the 4th of July Holiday, we headed out on another Iowa (ok, near Iowa) adventure.
Our first stop was the Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield, IA. Roberta Nichols was very friendly and really knew a lot about the aircraft on display and the Iowa Aviation Hall of Fame. I didn’t see James Herman Banning on the list, so I nominated him.
On the way out of town, we stopped at The Rock for some pictures.
We headed west on Interstate 80, then north on Interstate 29, and took a little diversion on the Loess Hills Scenic Byway. Back on I29, we saw the Sergeant Floyd Monument from the Interstate, but didn’t stop.
We did stop at the Corn Palace. From there, it was a longer drive to the BadLands Loop which ends at Wall Drug. We didn’t need ice water, so we didn’t go in.
Next, we visited a drive-thru-zoo and found out that seeing it in person really makes Mount Rushmore come alive. We didn’t stay for the fireworks because we wanted to visit the Wisconsin Dells on our way back home so we could ride the Ducks.
Anxious to get home, we saw but didn’t visit, the House on the Rock.
It was as much fun as our last adventure.
Excellent trip! Thanks for sharing!
