Our next stop was Sugar Bottom in Solon IA, another Army Corps of Engineers campground. Our site had a beautiful panoramic view of the lake.
For our first outing we drove to McBride Recreation Area to view birds at the Raptor Center.
The following day we went to Coralville Dam, stood by the water release tunnels
and visited the Devonian Fossil Gorge, a 350 million year old fossil bed, uncovered by the flood of 1993.
Double click on the photo and you'll get a good look at the fossils.
Our final excursion was to McBride State Park where, from a rented tandem kayak,
we saw three herons in one tree and managed to get a great close-up of one of them.
