I had a recent trip to Marshalltown to try some pizza with some friends, co-workers, and co-working friends. On the way back Joe begged me to stop at the State Center Rose Garden. I obliged him.

It is one of my favorite places to visit every year and I can almost always have it to myself. Like Lone Wolf(s) like it!
