Day 28–35
Von Iowa nach Wisconsin
September 24, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Wir kommen nach draußen und fühlen sofort die frische Luft. Regen ist nicht mehr in Sicht, die Wetteraussichten für heute sind hervorragend. Und außerdem wollen wir heute Wisconsin erreichen. Wir setzen uns gutgelaunt ins Auto und fahren los. Zunächst geht es aber noch etwa 100 Meilen durch Maisfelder. Wir hören während der Fahrt einen Podcast und Ruckzuck haben wir unser erstes Ziel erreicht.

Der "Horseshoe Bluff Trail " ist ein Naturwunder, das man gesehen haben muss. Die dramatischen Felsformationen und atemberaubenden Ausblicke auf den Mississippi sorgen für ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.

Nicht weit entfernt besuchen wir das Julien Dubuque Monument. Julien Dubuque war der erste bekannte weiße Siedler in dieser Gegend. Er wurde auch hier bestattet. Der kurze Spaziergang lohnt sich wegen der tollen Aussicht!

Um den "Eagle Point Park" erleben zu können, wird eine Eintrittsgebühr von nur 1,00 Dollar genommen. Wir genießen die kleinen Wanderungen hier. Von überall hat man beste Aussichten auch auf den Mississippi, der die natürliche Grenze zwischen Iowa und Wisconsin bildet. 👍👍

Im letzten Augenblick hat Iowa also versucht, sich mit uns auszusöhnen. Na gut, wir sind nachsichtig. Aber wiederkommen werden wir trotzdem nicht 🥴

Und dann überqueren wir den großen Mississippi und erreichen bei herbstlichem Sonnenschein Wisconsin. Die Blätter beginnen sich zu verfärben und die Vorfreude auf einen farbenfrohen Indian Summer verstärkt sich.🤔❤️Read more

Home. The heartland. Middle America. Have been too busy seeing family to write- even though there's plenty to write about: pickleball tournaments, ghillie suits, fireworks, shooting real guns at the range, vertical jump, Aunt Sara's air hockey table, basketball, cinnamon buns, frisbee games, sticker game charts.... and the plans continue.

Sigh. Always sucks to say goodbye. But we were extremely fortunate to be able to spend so much time in ‘Murica with the fambily. Been too busy winning stars on the star chart to write about all our trips to the batting cage, mini-golf, giving Sara & Alin’s new dog Tyson lots of love, Heritage Trail, Galena, Runs of Death with the airsoft guns, baking pumpkin pies with grandpa, playing Pass the Pigs & rummy with grandma, winning a fortune in BINGO, lighting off Eric’s fireworks, biking up and down the street,spilling BB pellets at Walmart, tetherball scars, canoeing down the Maquoketa with Sophie & Pans, & Sara, eating Uncle Mark’s chokkie bikkies, more pickleball, solving puzzles (so many!), Beecher’s ice cream and Mines of Spain....

It was brilliant and lovely and I’m always sad to say ‘see ya’ to Dubuque.Read more

Finally made it out to Czipar's Orchard!
I thought at first that it was the same spelling as your name.Real neat.. [Nanny and papa.]

Traveler What a great find! Some of the people from Europe spelled their name either Czipar or Cipar, depending on what immigration recorded. Never know where you might meet a possible ancestry connection!

Dubuque, Iowa

General Ulysses S. Grant was born in Ohio but he and his family lived in many different towns throughout his life including Galena, Illinois.

The family was living in Galena and Grant was working in his father's leather goods store right before the Civil War broke out. Grant rejoined the army - long story - and went on to greatness.

The General looked upon Galena as his adopted hometown and after the war the town presented him and his family with a newly built and completely furnished home as a thank you for his war service.

Denny and I toured the home today. And then spent some time in Grant Park and walked across the Galena River. We found a neat Italian restaurant in the historic section of town.

We crossed back into Iowa - Dubuque - 'cause that's where our hotel is located - another long story. The Mississippi River is looking quite high.Read more

Natl Mississippi River Museum/Aquarium
June 8, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
Om my gosh, how do I even begin to describe this museum...we had two hours and I think we saw maybe half, or two thirds. We didn't even go upstairs. It is pretty spread out and covers not only the Mississippi, habitat, management issues, commerce (barges), fish and wildlife (aquarium), native American culture, and river culture in general (through writings and music); but it looks at the bigger issues associated with ALL river management. What we Americans do to use it as a resource or protect homes and cities, and what we have enviornmentally sacraficed as a result. We are undoing many poorly made decisions, that were made with the best of intentions and limited knowledge at any given time. Always a compromise, no perfect answers. Visually great exhibits, outdoor and indoor. Hope to come back and see it again, but maybe in the morning, not at the end of a very warm day!
Drove another 20 miles up the road and are staying overnight at another Core of Engineers csmpground located right on the Mississippi again!Read more
