Pikes Peak (IA) and Effigy Mounds
J and I went with the Bowens up to the northern part of Iowa this weekend to check out and camp at Pikes Peak State Park and to visit Effigy Mounds National Monument--the only National Monument in the Hawkeye state. Instead of posting a lengthy written piece, here are some pics.
The Mississippi River Valley from Pikes Peak State Park: the highest point in Iowa. Yeah, it was foggy and cloudy but beautiful. Later, we came back after it cleared up and saw the millions of stars and the Milky Way. The next morning, we got up early enough to see the rising sun take on the fog in the myriads of valleys and nooks. Breathtaking.
D and E at the high point.
The wife and me. Same place.
Bridal Veil Falls before the rain.
Saturday, we headed north a ways and saw Effigy Mounds National Park. The sun was out and it was hot, but the hike up to these mounds wasn't too bad. Effigy Mounds are burial mounds of dirt built by Native American tribes from 800-1200 a.d. No one knows what tribe(s) did this, but they're pretty neat. In the below picture, the mounds are the unmowed areas--they sort of look like number 3's. The shape is that many bears marching away from the camera. It's hard to take pictures of.
This last photo has D, E, and J standing by a mound of an eagle.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
