I jumped on my motorcycle and headed to Princeton, IA with my camera. The Iowa Audubon site lists the Princeton Wildlife Refuge as a spot for bird watching. Princeton is a very small town so I didn't bring any specific directions to the wildlife refuge. After cruising the river road to a dead end in each direction and not finding it, I was temporarily lost. Thanks to modern technology I found directions on my phone and discovered that it's actually north of Princeton about half way to Folletts, IA down a road called 280th Street.
It turns out 280th street is a dirt road. Not gravel, just dirt. Did I mention I was on my motorcycle? It looked smooth and fairly well packed so I headed down 280th street. It didn't take long to realize it wasn't well packed and was more like sand than dirt. Less than half way down the road I almost lost the bike and decided I should turn around. The Princeton Wildlife Refuge will have to wait.
I'll bring four wheels next time.
