Anything to do in Iowa?
« on: April 10, 2013, 02:18:07 AM »
Wonder why there isn't any Iowa thread...no just kidding. But seriously, does anyone know of anything to do in Iowa? We stopped by for a few days once & couldn't find a single attraction.

Boating in Greys Lake (Des Moines) is nice. Nothing close to Lake Dillon in CO or Lake Powell in AZ, but it's nice for Iowa...

 The first thing I would do if I would be in Iowa is organize a campaign to impeach Judge Reade.
