Travel East and West This Summer to New England and Beyond
The narrator recounts a summer of travel from east to west and back, with Daisy the flatbed Chevy on the Colorado trip and a Maine pleasure trip. He visits New England fall colors, notes the charm and pace, and recalls misdirections, highway quirks, and a Pinney Hollow milestone near Plymouth. He ends with the return home and a reminder of reality in the form of uncollected bills.

A Quarter Century Of Caring In Linn County
This month marks 25 years since 80 percent of Linn County voters approved the Linn County Conservation Board. The enabling legislation followed years of effort dating back to 1942, leading to the first five appointed members and rapid national expansion to 98 of 99 Iowa counties. Noted figures Ding Darling and Aldo Leopold helped inspire the program, which aims to slow the destruction of remaining wild areas.
