    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!

    MY DAD OWNED THE TRUCK STOP AND THE MILE SECTION FARM FIELDS AT THE I-80 201 EXIT. SO YOU DROVE RIGHT BY IT. YOU ALSO DROVE BY 7 MILES SOUTH OF MY LAKE CABIN. SMALL WORLD! WHEN YOU DROVE BY GRINNELL, IOWA BROWNELLS, I WAS PROBABLY WORKING AS A GUN TECH, RETIRED NOW. DECORA, YELLOW RIVER FOREST ARE MY FAVS IN IOWA. ENJOY IOWA!!!!

    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.

    Looks like this is an older video but first time for me seeing it. Your friend must not be a native Iowan he would have never put ketchup on a pork tenderloin. It's like going to Chicago and putting ketchup on a hot dog. Lol. To each his own though. The Northeast Iowa driftless zone is gorgeous.

    I liked it. I'm getting ready to leave from Palm Coast Florida to Alaska I'm a retired Navy Photographer 1971 to 1975. I'm going to photograph my trip and some video. My dad was a engineer on the Alaskan Highway in WW2 so I'm tracing his footsteps. I have a 2014 F350 diesel with a Nucamp Cirrus 820. I'm waiting for the Canadian border to open up on June 21st. See you on the road maybe and I am a Minnesota native but left the cold behind in 94.

    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.
