Pictures: Before shot
Bewildered Barber
SD Iowa stateline
Souix City Bike Trail
Telephone/telegraph pole near Onawa
On the way from Vermillion to Sioux City we went through the small town of Jefferson. It’s a complete throwback to the 50’s. I spotted a barbershop and convinced Kevin we should get a cut before RAGBRAI. Outside we took before pictures then we all entered a 1950’s barbershop and freaked out the 39 year veteran barber. He finally got the words out that the electricity was off ‘cause of road construction. Of course we took photos and asked questions till the point that he appeared ready to flee. He explained an old vacuum hose looking things was a hair dryer before we left. Soon we crossed the state line into Iowa but we didn’t know it since we saw no welcome sign. We visited with a retired art teacher now raku clay artist Chuck in Sioux City. Then rode across a nearby bridge for our entering Iowa photo. We ate lunch then headed down a bike trail into the heart of Sioux City. Once we left the trail we got lost but a mailman helped us get our bearings then we made it out of town taking the most direct route to Onawa beside the railroad tracks the whole way. Took some photos of old telephone/telegraph poles and video of a train coming by. In Owana Kamla's friend Lynn came up to meet us.
