"The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum was a dream of Iowa 80 Truckstop founder, Bill Moon. Bill had a passion for collecting antique trucks and other trucking memorabilia. We are pleased to be able to share this collection with the general public. Every truck has a story to tell and can provide a unique glimpse back in time. Many rare and one-of-a-kind trucks are on display. View short films about trucking history in REO theater; a great way to learn even more about the trucks of yesteryear... "

We were so amazed by this museum, shocked that you see this "truck stop", and if you have see truck stops in the past, you have NOT see one like this, so wild!!! It's huge, you go in on the car parking section. Walk across a path and go into the museum, but this path ...is crossed by HUGE 18 wheelers over and over ...we were so pleasantly surprised that a trucker gave us a chance to run across. My hubby and I always joke that we feel we were raised in the wrong era ...the history that is behind us and will continue after us ...I just love what I see here ...so many amazing pieces, I would love to share them all with you, but you might not wanna sit through them all. I sure hope you will get the chance to see them if ever in that section of Iowa, it is well worth stopping, TOTALLY. MUST SEE. so awesome!!! Thanks, for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
