We headed out of Prior Lake this morning, going south. After an uneventful drive we are now in the City Park in Winterset, Iowa. The park here has full RV hookups for a modest cost so it makes a good stop over place. Winterset is located in Madison County, the home of some bridges made famous in a Clint Eastwood movie: "The Bridges of Madison County". We were here in 2006 and took the time to drive out and take pictures of all six bridges. We won't do that this time. This is also the birthplace of one of my hero's, Marion Morrison. We'll get around tomorrow to go see what has been added about him since we were last here.
This date also marks a special day in our lives. Twenty-three years ago today I stood and watched my bride walk d
own the aisle. That was the beginning of The Excellent Adventure of Rick and Joanne. Since we were going to be on the road most of today I gave her an anniversary present yesterday evening. While in Duluth I discovered a jewelry store that sold gold charms of the Aerial Lift Bridge. I had them put this on a gold chain to make a necklace for her. Tonight we went into town for a quiet dinner at a local diner. This adventure just continues on as we explore this great country.
