Iowa: Part 4

Besides visiting with family, we did do a little sight-seeing in Iowa.
 
We took a morning excursion with my parents & the corgis to the High Trestle Trail Bridge. Bike trails, especially the Rails to Trails type projects, have become a huge thing in Iowa. I think it's because Iowa is so flat... Easy biking  :)
 
But anyway, John has been really getting into the whole bike thing. So he took my stepdad's bike out almost every day on the Raccoon River Valley Trail. After 3 days, he was looking for a little different scenery...
 
So while John rode, we walked the bridge.

The dogs weren't impressed with walking on the bridge... no critters or grass to sniff!

Porter took a short rest in the only shade he could find
 
Stout kept watch up above...

Stout says "What can you possibly see through this little hole, Porter?"
