Mike from TV show American Pickers. He is a sweetie. Antique Archeology is located in Le Claire. According to an article in the Nashville Scene, they are expanding to Nashville. See the link below for details.
Bob liked this VW van which was in really good condition.
Just a funny sitting around in the store.
Le Claire makes my "must see" travel destination.
A new Mexican restaurant, Blue Iguana on the corner, right smack in the middle of all the shops, museum, etc. area.
Bob's enchilada verde. He thought it was fantastic.
My chicken taco salad. It too was very good, but way too much.
Our most favorite thing was this old steamboat. It was a working ship on the Mississippi from 1869 to 1967
at which time it didn't pass the Coast Guard inspection and was taken out of service. The ship is located in a beautiful building with huge glass windows on two sides where she can still look out at the Mississippi. Visitors are allowed to climb up to the pilot house and walk into the crew cabins. You can walk all around the engine room and see where the cook fixed meals on the stove which is still intact.

Above is a photo of some of the displays inside the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum. They charged us $5.00 each to go into the museum and to climb around the Lone Star. What a good deal. It is well worth it. The museum is well organized and has lots of interesting things to see.
