Friday we left Mississippi Palisades Park. We drove into Iowa to Dyersville to see the Basicilla of St. Francis Xavier. It was a huge church in the middle of a small town. It was beautiful! Lots of pictures of the insides. From there we headed to the "Field of Dreams" where the movie was made. It is a tourist trap so we just drove through and took pictures. It was pretty cool though. From there we headed to Yellow River State Forest. We hiked around the campground the first night noting that they have Fords just like White Pine Forest SP. You have to drive through the creeks to get to other sections of the park.
Saturday we got up and did laundry. What a special start of the day. After that we hiked the Backpackers trail up through the Bluff trail which had some scenic overlooks. Back down at river level, we hiked the horse trail back to our campsite. It was time to hit the creek. Very cold water, but it felt so very good! We were in and out of the water the rest of the day. Reading and relaxing in between. It didn't cool down either night until late and we didn't have any AC because we were on battery power. We did get to see beatiful stars, shooting metorites, and hear owls.
There were two other egg campers in the campground with us. Both of them were Scamps.
Sunday after walking the campground we headed North
