*View From the Top

Winterset, Iowa has a beautiful city park. At the end of a long and winding semblance of a road, you are rewarded with this:

The plaque above the entrance tells you this tower was "Erected in memory of Caleb and Ruth Clark, pioneer settlers of Madison County". You can climb the stairs to the second level, where you see a very steep ladder/staircase that can take you to the top.

If you go to the top, you are rewarded with this:

(Note to D: Not a potato in sight.)

I didn't think Iowa looked like that.

I've never been there, and I'm not sure that I believe it's a real state, but I imagined it looking more like a pancake-flat corn field from end to end.

Mofo.

Nice view. I thought potatoes were Idaho, not Iowa...

Anyway, it's a nice memorial.

I want a tower like that, so I can play Rapunzel...
