Eagle D24 Map, 4.10.18

D24 – it was so good to hear from you Saturday! Both D24 and D27 sent postcards from the Decorah area this week.

The weather was supposed to have been partly sunny, but about half way to Decorah it started to rain. When I drove up to the hatchery, Mom and Dad were on top of the maple tree.
