High Trestle Bridge is considered the shining star of Iowa’s trail system. The design of the bridge was inspired by artistic bridges in Fairfield, Iowa and Tucson Arizona. In fact the bridge was listed as one of BBC’s “eight amazing footbridges ” in 2015!
How cool is that!

Friday sunrise over the high trestle trail in Madrid.
Now is the perfect time to take action.
If you're a regular visitor to the High Trestle Trail in southern Boone County, you might have noticed this new structure coming together adjacent to the trail west of Madrid.
The design is of a coal mine, harkening back to the early history of the area around Madrid. Stairs on the right lead to a city park above.
This is just the latest improvement project from Friends of the High Trestle Trail. You will also see trailside benches and shelters they have created for visitors, as well as the sizable investment in the Dalander Park natural area immediately south of the Madrid trail parking Lot.

More than 73,000 Iowans are caregivers. What does a caregiver look like? You are a caregiver if you care for someone who needs help. While some aspects of caregiving can be rewarding, it can also take a toll on caregivers’ health and well-being. This is particularly true for dementia caregiving, which often entails prolonged and intensive assistance. Short breaks can be key to maintaining your own health.

Learn about local victim service programs within Iowa as Domestic Violence Awareness Month continues: https://www.icadv.org/iowa-victim-service-programs
After recently being stopped by an Iowa DNR officer for illegally operating a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) on a paved Boone County roadway, the individual sought to clarify applicable regulations. They were operating under the belief that ATVs and UTVs could be driven on any roadway in Boone County, with the lone exceptions being Story Street and Mamie Eisenhower Avenue in Boone.
Adopted July 1, 2016, County Ordinance No. 132 permits operating ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) and UTVs on any gravel roadway in Boone County lying outside the city limits of any incorporated city.
Operation on paved county roadways is never legal, though a resident living on a paved county roadway is permitted to operate on the road shoulder “for a reasonable distance” to reach a nearby gravel roadway.
ATV/UTV operators on county gravel roads must:
• Properly register and attach a provided identification plate to the rear of the vehicle
• Be age 16 or older with a valid Iowa Driver’s License
• Have and carry on the vehicle proof of liability insurance in effect for the vehicle, or other proof of financial responsibility per Iowa Code Chapter 321A
• Operate only between official sunrise and official sunset
• Not be operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Have a functioning white light in front and red light in the rear
• Never exceed a posted speed limit and in no case more than 45 miles per hour
• Never operate in a roadway ditch
Violations of this Ordinance are a Simple Misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $65 to $625 plus applicable court surcharge and costs and/or up to 30 days in jail.
Please visit the Boone County Recorder’s office (515-433-0514) on the second floor of the Boone County Courthouse to register your ATV/UTV and to receive a copy of Ordinance No. 132. Visit this webpage for a list of registration fees: https://www.boonecounty.iowa.gov/government/recorder/boats-snowmobiles-atvs-orvs
Check with individual cities as to their regulations regarding operation of ATVs and UTVs within city limits.

Do you have a will? A recent study has shown that the majority of adults in America do not.
Why you need it: To choose an executor and spell out your final wishes for how your estate should be distributed after you die.
What happens without it: You die "intestate" and your assets go through probate, where your state's intestacy laws determine how to pay your debts and distribute your assets according to survivorship rights in that state.
Don't wait until it is too late. Contact us today!
