4/24/2015 Left Fort Wayne IN around 11:30 a.m. yesterday heading to Iowa.  Becky has family their we hope to visit for the first time. Today we visited the "American Pickers" location in Le Claire IA.  Stan and Debbie visited here a couple years ago and suggested we stop.  We are glad we did.  Didn't see any of the Stars of the show, but enjoyed the antiques and location we see on TV.  We didn't get a chance to meet Mike, Frank, or Danielle.
