“... towering dolomite outcroppings line the highway, adding to its uniqueness.”

The limestone bluffs on U. S. Route 151 in Iowa are a sign that we are almost home. hoping to appease the rain gods. Once again, U. S. 151 offered vast panoramas of green and a speedy, smooth ride. Still in Wisconsin and miles from the Mississippi River, towering dolomite outcroppings line the highway, adding to its uniqueness.

Taking only one rest stop, we retraced our route and arrived in Iowa City mid-morning with barely a sprinkle spotting our rainsuits. Later that week, storms rolled across the Midwest, unleashing tornadoes, dropping large hail and causing flash flooding. Luckily, Mother Nature smiled on us and we were able to rediscover U. S. 151 and enjoy Door County in the off-season.
