A huge sculpture at the
Council Bluffs, Iowa end of the Kerry Bridge.

Rode my bike for short mileage, yet included two states and the wide Missouri River. 

You'll notice the bridge deck actually winds
north of the eastern pylon, then south of the western pylon.
A very cool, fun design at the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.

Two states, while standing over the Missouri River.

My current campsite. "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye . . ."

I boondocked on a friend's farm just north of Woodward, IA.

Entry at each end of the High Trestle Bridge
has these magnificent pillars.

Great second bike ride in Iowa on the High Trestle Trail!  The temperature was 30 degrees cooler than a few days prior on the Cowboy Trail in Valentine, NE.  The high was in the mid 70s.  BIG Difference!  And No flat tires. 🙂

Very dramatic views from this bridge.

Really a wonderful artwork, especially at night,
the Woodward High Trestle Bridge.
