drawn many here this fall. Never in
the history Of the place have the bass
and crappies been caught as now. The
bottom lakes and bitches are full OF all
kinds OF good fish. The scenic route
was evidently not laid out with view
to sending cars along the way showing
the best scenery, or they would not
have gone south thru Wapello ant
