North again back to Iowa but first a side trip to return to a spot we went to two years ago. About a hundred miles out of the way but it was fun. We revisited Walt Disneys Dreaming Tree and Barn. The free is still there but looking pretty sad. Totally dead and major limbs all fallen off. They have planted a "Son of Dreaming Tree" nearby to fill in for the original in a few years. The barn is fine.
The inside of the barn is filled with signatures and notes from Disney fans. Last time we were her we signed for Kens family but only had a ball point pen. Today we couldn't even find where we signed before. We resigned for them in permanent marker and while we were at it we signed for the rest of the family :) .
Back east to get near our first objective for tomorrow.
Addendum: While heading east in southeast Iowa we passed a road sign for 'American Gothic House'. We looked it up and it is indeed the house that inspired that in the classic painting. It is several miles from the highway and it was starting to rain so we had to pass. But it is now on our list of things to see :) .
