These country roads are one farm after another. So beautiful and we are so thankful to the farmers of America!
Maquoketa Caves State Park
Maquoketa is one of Iowa’s most unique parks with more caverns than any other park in the state, numbering 16. We hiked through thick hardwood forests with limestone cliffs above us. There were stairs after stairs to getup to the caves. I am so thankful I am over a year past my knee surgery. The stairs were no issue for me! Praise the Lord!
Finn and I scrunched into Wide Mouth Cave.
Temperatures were quite hot. We were reminded of why we like to camp most in the spring and fall.
Looks so beautiful. Reminds me that growing things like that on the Farm in Augusta was worthwhile. Finn looks fab!!!! Mary Ellen
Finn thanks you! He is a sweetheart of a dog!❤️
Maybe you can find some zucchini for zucchini pasta? Great veggies help!!!
Thanks to FARMERS who work 24/7/365!
You ALL look FABULOUS!
The ginger peach skillet looks DELICIOUS!
Drive safely, stay safe, and HAVE FUN!!

Thanks, Diane! Today driving has been our only rain and they really need it here! GPS took us through a crazy muddy, dirt road. Thankfully, it took us to a paved road close to the park but, oh brother was the truck muddy!
Thanks to the FARMERS for all their hard work 24/7/365!
You ALL look fabulous! The flowers were beautiful! The ginger peach skillet looked delicious!
Drive carefully, stay safe, and have fun!!❤️❤️

That reply is supposed to say:
Praying every day for you all 🛐💜
Such a cool cave!! That skillet looks delicious!❤️
It was scrumptious! We have two peaches left…May have to have a repeat tomorrow. It took one peach per pan!
I love getting to keep up with your travels!! Looks like a fun day with a yummy dessert❤️

Wish I could keep up with your even more exciting travels! Please share when you get a chance, G!
We loved seeing the VERY tall cornfield! Yes, we really are extremely thankful for America’s farmers. It seems there is less and less farmland all the time so it’s good to know there’s more in the heartland. We had a big rain event in JC last evening with lots of flooding in low areas around town and in Gray. Continuing to pray for your safe travels! Give Finn a big hug from us!! Linda and Dennis
That corn was very close to where they filmed Field of Dreams. We were there on one other trip and when I asked Harry if he wanted to stop by again, he said he was afraid it would spoil his first time there!q. Didn’t want to mess with his memories!😘. Love you two!
love the caves and so happy your knee was rockin’ the stairs!!! Love you both CD
Yes, the knees are doing well up to this point! Last year it would have been a totally different story! Lots of wind today on the road and it is one of our long drive days! Please pray for traveling mercies!143❤️
