With all due respect to Ned and his professed love of snow, the weather has been great lately and we've been looking for places to visit that are closer than a two hour drive.  We've been to Galena lately (barely within the two hour limit) and are wondering if anyone here in the 'Hood can suggest a good day-trip destination. 

Also, does anybody know if Jeff's business is up and running at their new location?

Thanks.

  Here's a great suggestion.

GUN & KNIFE SHOW

Oct 24-26 Waterloo, Waterloo Cattle Congress, McElroy Auditorium On Target Promotions 660-341-1254

Who knows, Sarah Palin might be there. Guns, knives, ammo, outdoorsy wimmins, it don't get any better.

Maquoketa caves is a little more than an hour from here. Great place for a picnic, beautiful place to take walks, and check out the caves.

The amana colonies is a great place.

Colona is a great place too.

It has been many years (in fact many decades) since I visited the Maquoketa caves.  I'll put it back on the list.

The Amanas is a nice trip as well.  Their golf course is top rated....a gorgeous layout carved through the woods. 

I'm not familiar with Colona.  What is the draw there?
