It was in 1979 when I stopped at this park the first time. I was on my way to Powell, Wyoming to check out Northwest (Community) College where I would eventually play my first year of college basketball. It took forty years, but I made it back to see the park recently. Overlooking I-29 and the Missouri River, a person can stand at this point in Iowa and see Nebraska and South Dakota.
Today seemed like the appropriate day to post this picture since it represents a symbol of peace. On this feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, it is a good time to ask God for a special grace. "Lord make me an instrument of your peace."
