Red Rocks Visit Bridges Marion County Memories
In Marion County we drove from the dam to the Red Rocks where children climbed bluffs and locals like Mrs. Frank Van Essen and family shared how their lineage from Pella fished the old slough. The rocks bear initials and a gospel message carved long ago while a picnic fire smoldered. A large turnout surprised caretakers as Arthur De Vries’s family gathered for his October 17 birthday with 81 present and refreshments.
