The center has an extensive viewing area for the cargo of the Bertrand.
We saw lots of turtles sunning themselves on logs around the river.
Well worth a stop if you're in the area.
LOESS HILLS WINERY
When everyone was out of the center, we caravaned to Loess Hills Winery for the first of what was to be a tasting trip across Iowa. The state is not known for wine or grapes, but we went to three wineries right on the old Lincoln Highway during the next several days.
The winery is in Crescent, Iowa, and started in 1998. It costs $5 to taste the wines, but that includes a pretty classy glass. The group REALLY enjoyed themselves and lots of wine was consumed. We bought two bottles ourselves, but we are very fond of local wineries and seek them out whenever on the road.
Loess Hills is part of the Western Iowa Wine Trail which has seven wineries.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
