Looks good.

I went down to the Coralville spill way last week as well. It is twice as big now and has a lot of new areas.

Been to Palisades yet? Has anyone ever been to Bixby State Preserve? It's north of Edgwood. Iowa Outdoors magazine has some pics in it of some VERY nice looking formations. They look like Tennessee's "Magic" rocks. They mag was a Christmas gift too, i'm not a total dork.

I'm there once it opens.

Anyone know about The Caves? My brother has been bothing me constantly to head to that park. I still claim it's probably under water.
