TUESDAY: Hangin' Out There in Iowa & Nebraska


TUESDAY JULY 15

Tuesday brought us a free day to explore with friends Roger and Kellie. Gorgeous weather - temps in 70's with no humidity.

Our visit to the museum at De Soto National Wildlife Refuge featured the recovered steamboat Bertrand and EAGLES to photograph for Tucker.









Not sure about the eagles in this nest.



Mystery pieces of cut cloth recovered from the sunken steamboat Bertrand. Presumably some sort of seamstress pieces but even the historians who went through the artifacts haven't figured out what these are. Any ideas?

Not an eagle



Dundee, Nebraska was all abuzz when Paul McCartney and Warren Buffett had dinner together and stopped by eCreamery for some ice cream afterward on Sunday.




Three teenagers had their pictures taken in front of the bench where Paul and Warren were relaxing. This photo and the story was featured on the national media.

We just happened to be wandering around Omaha on Tuesday so we decided to stop by for a photo op. Only problem is, "someone" picked the wrong bench in front of eCreamery. As Roger remarked later, "They must have added those buildings between Sunday and Tuesday."



On a roll, we decided to reenact another photo near eCreamery.


Paul had quite an impact - gas price was down 10 cents by Tuesday.


eCreamery changed its ice cream flavor names in honor of Paul



and created a special label for the vanilla bean flavor that Paul ordered.
