My mom, and her dad, on a porch somewhere in Iowa, around 1930. Today would have been Mom's 94th birthday. Probably my favorite photo in the family collection.

From Pike's Peak State Park, McGregor, Iowa.

Downtown McGregor, Iowa. Photo taken 9/27/2017.

Up the hill from McGregor, Iowa. While the tornado had missed the state park's campground, many of the park's trails were still closed when we arrived. Photo taken 9/27/2017.

McGregor, Iowa, was recovering from a July tornado when we visited last September. As often with twisters, the harm was erratic--the park in the foreground, here, showed damage, while the buildings across the street showed little. Up Main Street a few buildings had been destroyed and many were broken. The most-damaged buildings had been removed, but there were repair crews in many yards and carpenters on many houses and buildings. Photo dated 9/27//2017.

From Iowa's Pikes Peak State Park. That's Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, across the way. Photo taken 9/27/2017.
