This morning’s route took us through the town of Hampton, Iowa with it’s courthouse standing proudly in the center of town then past countless farms and fields, grain silos and barns adorned with painted quilts. In fact we tweaked our route this morning to see a couple of the Barn Quilts of Black Hawk County. As we shared the road with more than one behemoth John Deere tractor we were reminded of the day we got to sit in the cab of one of those ironic tractors. This is a land of hard working, proud, self sufficient people and we’re excited to be in the heart of Iowa, the heart of our nation.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
