Running Stream, Running Girls

The only problem with this great campground is the number of names. We are either in Twin Springs or Pulpit Rock or maybe Will Baker--no, I think that's a nearby county park. Anyway, we are right on the edge of Decorah, Iowa in what we think is a city park. All of the sites are first-come, first serve and we snagged a large pull-through designed for two campers, overlooking a clear stream.

After setup, yesterday afternoon, we hiked up the stream to the Twin Springs. An incredible place. We did have to contend with the Luther College women's cross-country team. First of all, I'm not sure you can call it practice when it's in such a beautiful spot. Second, they laughed and talked while they were running, just to show us up. Here you see them running uphill, and yes, they were chattering and giggling the whole time.

Actually, I guess it's not hard to show us up. Anyway, we made it to the springs. On the way back we passed old cement structures that we surmised were once part of a fish hatchery. We really don't know. But it is a lovely place.

Today we will try biking into Decorah. Surely with the Norwegian heritage here, I will be able to find some lefse. We are not looking for lutefisk.

You don't find lutefisk. Lutefisk lurks in the shadows and finds you.

Camped in that park when we canoed way back when. Just pulled the canoes out at our camp site after coming down from Bluffton. Beautiful place and Decorah is an interesting town. Check out the Ice Caves if you get a change.
