River Boats

A visit to the Buffalo Bill Museum was interesting, more a LeClaire Iowa Museum than just one for Bill. About a third of the building has mementos from Cody, such as posters and pictures, but also the original fire engine and desks from local schools. But the best part was in the other two-thirds, where an old steam paddle boat is dry-docked and moved inside after a century on the river. The red paddles caught my eye most as I wondered how many miles of river were pushed by those blades.

After the town visit we stopped at a considerably newer, more modern river boat. One with a casino and a nice buffet dinner before heading home.
