pickers

 Do you watch the American Pickers on the history channel?

We are camping close to their shop in Le Claire, Iowa

 so we jumped on the extremely busy I-80 to visit them.

They are across from the Mississippi River.

The telephone company that Mr. b worked for back in the late 70's

 covered this territory 

so he always had a river story when he came home from here.

One day he talked with an old gentleman in his 90's that knew Buffalo Bill.

Bill Cody was born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory
