This weekend, we visited Madison County, Iowa; the birthplace of John Wayne and home to the bridges made famous in Robert James Waller’s novel, The Bridges Of Madison County.The picture above and below are of Cedar Bridge, which graces the cover of Waller's novel.
The town of Winterset was also in the movie, as it was filmed on location, and as we drove through town, we saw several places featured in the movie. There are six bridges left today, but we only visited this one due to the size of the truck and how hard it is to maneuver small spaces. At least now I can say I saw a bridge in Madison County; and also the birthplace of a cowboy named Marion.
