THE MUD MAN OF METZ BRIDGE

As urban legend has it, a mud monster, or Mud Man, lives under the bridge. Some say the Mud Man is a spirit lingering from a fatal car accident that once occurred in the mud near the river; the body was never found. Others assert the tale was created by those who wanted to discourage teens from hanging out at the bridge or in the surrounding park at night. addresses listed as Mound Prairie and Metz, Iowa. sometimes a bigfoot hunter has to take some bigfoot along, just in case. there were tracks in sand under bridge, I thought tire tracks.

Kevin said Bigfoot dick tracks. he is quite the travel buddy. (he was also the only swinger on the Story City Swinging Bridge....)

also saw a deer on our travels....

and this underpass was worth the drive.....

and Kevin has been perfecting his selfie face....

we learned that sadly, The Big Steer was closed.

so we ate at Jethros instead. lunch was at HyVee cafe, I had turkey and noodles and mashed potatoes and a corn bread muffin. a. perfect. day.
