Lee, I didn't know that. Thank you for letting us know that. It sounds wonderful maybe someday I'll make a trip up to the northern most state (in the lower 48) and visit there. FYI, the first steel bridge across the Mississippi River is here in St. Louis, The Eads Bridge, which starts on the north side boundry of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.

It has Native American and European settlement historic sites and natural features, such as the only waterfall on the entire Mississippi, the first bridge built across the river, the ruins of early Minneapolis, and also constantly dripping limestone cliffs with aquatic mosses, stands of cottonwood, and remnants of oak savanna on top of the bluffs.
