This represents another installment in the series detailing the
first of our three cross country National Parks camping trips.
At the time of our trip, our son was thirteen
and our daughter was eight. Our first
day out, we had overnighted at the home of our friends Peg and Bill in Ohio before
continuing westward through Indiana, Illinois and on into Iowa. We crossed the mighty Mississippi as we left
Illinois and entered Iowa, thinking nothing of the bridge beneath our
wheels - until that evening when we
arrived at the Buffalo Shores Campground, a lovely little campground in the
small town of Buffalo, Iowa.
