Iowa

I have been in Iowa 4 times.

The first 3 times I came across the state from the west on I-80 and stayed once in Iowa City. We toured the University of Iowa campus on that trip. Otherwise it was pretty much of a straight drive through the state.

In 2008, I was there when they had a record flood. I made it through just in time as roads closed behind me.

In 2009, I drove east to west. No floods this time. I slept at a rest stop near Iowa City.
