I have always loved the midwestern United States. My love for the area goes hand in hand with my love for the Great Plains. I guess I’m just one of the guys that loves rural parts of the country. I’ve been thinking about my upcoming storm chasing trip and exploring towns in these parts of the country. It got me thinking about my first time in Iowa. Surprisingly, my blog is well over 20 years old and it turns out I wrote about the experience.
