    Road Trip

    Heading to IOWA early Friday morning , leaving around 4 am returning Sat late afternoon. ( picking up my Son )
    Heading into the town of DeWitt IA then going to Lowden , Clearance , Tipton then Iowa City.
    Knocking on some doors. Hopefully I get some permissions to hunt where some long gone schools were.

    All I want is a SEATED....... but I'll take any keeper for the book.

    Have a great weekend.....

    I hope to post some nice finds.
    Last 3 trips have been ok in the finds but I want better...

    Hey Bob, look for sidewalk work in Dixon, Sterling and Rock Falls if you take the time to detour through there.

    Re: Road Trip

    Too bad about that, did you manage any sightseeing? Or is it site seen? Any road work in towns along the way and such?

    Bummer on the weather. . . I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would clear up before you hit that area.

    Man, I'm sorry, Bob!!

    If it's any consolation, it rained here most of the day, too.

    You'll make up for it when you get back!!
