Scenes from Clear Lake

Jim and I took a day-trip to Clear Lake this past weekend (Aug. 22-23, 2008). We left Cedar Rapids Friday afternoon and returned home Saturday evening.

(1) Storm clouds were gathering Friday evening, hence no beautiful sunset, but still made for an interesting photo.
(2) Seagulls
(3) A lake scene
(4) A 1946 trolley to be restored at the Iowa Trolley Park in Clear Lake. Restoration takes lots of volunteer hours.
(5) Jim and I and our friend Kwallie on a hand car we operated around the 1/2-mile track at the Iowa Trolley Park. In back of us is the railroad depot formerly located in downtown Clear Lake. It is in various stages of restoration.
