Travel Tuesday

Happy Travel Tuesday!  Today I am linking up with A Compass Rose. Stop by her blog for some amazing travel posts.

 
Today I am going to share the Bridges of Madison County, Iowa (near Winterset)
We drove out to Madison County in April, 2008. There is a driving "tour" of the bridges and a couple of the movie sites. (Unfortunately, there has been a lot of vandelism at some of these sites)
 
You can visit the website here: Madison County Iowa



 
 This is the Roseman Covered Bridge - make sure you stop by the gift shop next to the bridge! (Also prominently featured in the movie)

Take some time, take the drive and see the other sites around Winterset, Iowa.
John Wayne's birthplace is there, as is the "home" of Fons & Porter (for all you quilting fans).
 
Happy Trails!
