Mississippi River Along Northern Iowa

This is a view of the Mississippi River from the Overlook alongside U. S. Highway 52 as it proceeds North of the City of Guttenberg, Iowa in Clayton County. You can view the island and if you look closely you can see the Ice Fishing Activity on this side of the island.

U. S. Highway 52 is also know as "The Great River Road" which runs along the Mississippi River. This is a view of the frozen Mississippi River South of Lock and Dam Number Ten in Guttenberg, Iowa. These photographs are provided by my relatives who reside in Northeast Iowa.

You may be wondering why these photographs are included in an "Iowa Tractor Boys" Blog! The fact of the matter is that this is what Iowa Tractor Boys observe every Winter. If they reside in Western Iowa the see the Missouri. In fact I believe that Iowa is the only State in the United States that has Rivers on both the West and the East Coast.
