Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I decided to create this blog so I can share with everyone the wonderful outdoors here in north Iowa. Many people don't think of Iowa as being very scenic, or having much more to offer than corn and hogs; but I hope to dispel that myth! For instance, just this morning, there was a deer lying under a tree at the entrance to our park and, a short ways up the road, just across from our office, there were two turkeys hanging out under some evergreens. And it wasn't even 8:00 AM yet!

So, I hope to keep you posted on what I'm seeing here at our office at Thorpe Park, as well as throughout north Iowa. One nice thing about Iowa is that we have a wonderful variety of seasons, so I also hope to chronicle those changing seasons throughout the year. And, please feel free to comment on what outdoor observations you're making where you are, as well!
