    Wow, I live in New England but grew up in Iowa. Iowa 80, Perla tulips, mega tenderloins, Effigy mounds, have seen them all. Dyersville where the farm toy museum is was where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed and major league baseball game was played this summer.

    My mom is from a small town about 18 miles from Decorah, Cresco. Iowa is such a beautiful state, especially when you're close to the Mississippi. The people are wonderful too. I'm so glad you have fun visiting and I've been to the coop in Decorah. Small world!

    Nicely edited - Iowa is a pretty state, no question. So is Wisconsin and Minnesota - anyplace that gets that much rain is just gonna be, eh? But on the whole, they are people who like to keep their state pretty. You rarely see litter or hoarder yards. It's worth the time.

    I could not help but notice that you have a cracked windshield. In a lot of States, it allows Officers to stop and ticket you. Some States require you to change your windshield within 48 hours. It is considered a safety issue to prevent injuries to the occupants of the vehicle should the windshield suddenly fail. Just a heads up about what can happen. If you don't care, just disregard this comment.
