Photos taken September 6, 2008 around 10:00 a.m. This was our first stop on our second trip to north central Iowa, with 11 counties visited before the end of the day. We started the day at a charity breakfast, but lingered a bit longer due to fog and haze. We had cloud cover during the photos, but good visibility.
