CHAMBERLAIN TO OTTUMWA--DAY 5

Yep, you're right. We were in Madison County, Iowa, today. This is one of the many famous covered bridges. In Madison County, I got to go to Fons & Porter's quilt store in Winterset. This beautiful court house is in this quaint town.





And John Wayne's birthplace. Unfortunately, it was closed which probably saved us some money.


On the way to Winterset, we found the Mt. Pisgah Mormon cemetery where 300-800 people were buried. It was one of the most beautiful, restful places we've been on our trip. The headstones are no longer intact, but there is a beautiful spirit in Mt. Pisgah. It's in a beautiful spot.

We're now in Ottumwa. Someone help me remember--was it Radar or Colonel Potter who was from Ottumwa?
