Old Chain of Rocks Bridge348 viewsWe took the long way out of town to stop and see the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. This bridge was where Route 66 crossed the Mississippi River, and closed to traffic in 1967. Fortunately, it was recently reopened as a bike/walking trail.

Cathy and William by a Stream348 viewsOne of the first things we did in the park was drive a loop with some old farmsteads that are now on park property. Many of the farmsteads had hiking trails, and this particular one had a pretty stream with an old sawmill where we posed for a picture.

Tractors347 viewsAlthough John Deere is our favorite brand of farm equipment, there were many other brands at the show. Some of them included Hart Parr, Oliver, Avery, International (FarmAll), Allis-Chalmers, Ford, White, Minneapolis-Moline, and more. Here is a view of the yard.

Cathy with Cog-wheel train track347 viewsThey have a cog-wheel train you can take up the mountain. Instead, we took our 1994 Saturn. It was generally a good car, but started to overheat driving up, and the brakes overheated on the way down. Fortunately neither problem caused us any trouble.
