Well, I considered driving an extra 155 miles to Hamburg, IA last night so I could start off my day exploring Waubonsie State Park while it was slightly cool. I’m so glad I didn’t do that for two reasons.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
We started out the day at Pikes Peak State Park where we walked to yet another overlook of the Mississippi. This overlook also happened to be an earth cache, so I check marked Iowa off the list presuming the creator of the cache accepts my answers. All the answers but one were on the associated signs; however, I am also to look at the bend and valley depth to determine the speed of the current here. Anyone want to look at the picture and take a guess? That’s what I’m doing!

Since Hastings was only about twenty miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul, I took a detour for a simple drive by as I had never been there. I had Gina, my GPS, take me to the city hall of each town, that way I would at least get a glimpse of downtown. I crossed over a few bridges, passed by several office buildings connected by skywalks, and even spotted a few historic churches in the mix before I ended at Mall of the America’s. While I can’t think of anything I like about shopping, I figured I had to at least see the largest mall in America.
