War Eagle was known as a “good Indian” because he made peace with the White Man. That’s the short story. His real name was Wambdi Okicize and the Natives called him Little Eagle. Whites always referred to him as War Eagle, which is odd because all through his life War Eagle sought to keep peace.

Sgt. Charles Floyd earned his monument as the only man to die in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He must have been well liked to deserve such a wonderful memorial.

Then we saw a VW Spider. We think it’s the third we have see in the U.S.A., so far. It has a couple of reptiles for companionship.

A wind turbine blade stands across Interstate-80 at a rest stop. That guy is big!

Freedom Rock was special. It honors Veterans and those that died in our nation’s service.

Yes, we had to visit another crazy art garden at a park in Des Moines IA!
