    Dyersville,Iowa?

    Has anyone been to Dyersville to the toy museum? We are thinking of going around the 1st of April. We have 5 and 7 yr. old boys and I think they would enjoy it. Is it worth the 5 hour drive, is there more to see than just the museum. I appreciate any advice. Thanks -Jon

    Why no ice castle this year? I just assumed because the lake ice wasn't thick enough to cut the ice they needed.

    The Mariner North used to have a bunch of patches on the wall behind the bar, before it burned. I always enjoyed seeing all the different patches that people/clubs could come up with. Here are a few of my favorites.

    Outdoor wood boilers?

    Starting to think about maybe putting in an outdoor boiler. I have enough small wood to burn in the house for next winter yet, so this is probably a year or so away. I just like to do my research ahead of time. What do you have, and are the gasification units worth the extra money?
