Archaeology admirer

Georgie Oedekoven of Rock Rapids, Iowa, stopped by the Office of the State Archaeologist booth for a tattoo at the kickoff event for RAGBRAI, which continues this week. Representatives from the archaeologist’s office will pedal the entire 400-plus mile route, while colleagues will hand out brochures to riders about the archaeological sites they will see along the way. About 1,000 visitors visited the booth at the kickoff event in Sioux Center. Photo by Mary De La Garza, Office of the State Archaeologist.
