When I rested for the night, it was cold, and I had neighbors. I don't like neighbors. It led to terrible dreams. But I did hear a coyote pack at night, and that is always awesome. (unless you own cattle).
Flat, flat roads ahead of me, and, oh what's this? A tree farm!

That's it for Iowa. Except for this sign, which really, really upset me:
