Good people, good food, cheap ethonal.

I greatly enjoy living in Iowa. Of course I'm in a city and not the country so that might be part of it.

the entire middle of our country is actually solely existing for the purpose of being a massive cornfield to fuel our junk food with HFCS.

america needs these useless states for our fast food.

I remember there being an episode of the old Garfield cartoon where Garfield tried to prove Wyoming didn't exist.

"Have you ever been to Wyoming? Do you know anyone who's been to Wyoming?"

Same principle might apply to Iowa.

Sadly, it exists. I was the driver when we crossed the state line :(

Hey, Iowa isn't that bad! I live here now so I feel obligated to defend it.

It's still tons of fun to make fun of though. Are you not in Des Moines?

What part of the state did you drive through? It sounds like you probably went through Northwest IA, which is the most rural part of the state.

Do we really export more Swine Meat than Corn? Would not have guessed that. Tractors sure, cause we have John Deere, but our top food export not being corn surprises me.

There are a lot of pigs and cows in the state though.

Oh hey, you are near where I went to college.

I never went south though so I really can't say anything about what is down there. Probably just a lot of farms and small towns.

Hopefully you can avoid actually driving through Des Moines, since there might be a good bit of construction and what not to slow you down. You are probably on the interstate though so you might be stuck.

Good luck!

I agree with Ed Bellis and Garfield. Wyoming is a big question mark.

Iowa's ok. Now Montana and the Dakotas, those are fine deserted areas.

What the heck is Zombieburger?

Am I going to have to check this out when I am in DM this weekend?


And you should get steak. Iowa Steak is amazing. Though I guess you are from Missouri so it won't be a big deal to you.

It's a zombie themed crazy ass burger place

What I got when I went last week was a "Trailer Trash Zombie". A double cheeseburger with cheese curds, chicken fried bacon, a fried pickle and ranch dressing

Theres also a burger that has macaroni and cheese on it with deep fried mac and cheese buns.

it's insane and awesome

Oh, I imagine Texas also has good steak so nvm.

If you see a sweet corn vendor you should definitely buy some though. Though I think you are a bit early for that.

They have tornadoes, extreme temperatures, and corn. What else could you want?

There's a reason my parents moved to Washington from there after taking a vacation in Seattle...

Nah, my mom's a vegetarian. Had more to do with the climate and scenery. Less humidity as well as more moderate summers and winters were both much appreciated. The lack of possibility of tornadoes was huge too; my dad had a tornado destroy a huge portion of his town when he was a kid. And the variety of greenery and landscape in Western Washington is beautiful, particularly compared to the flatness of Iowa and all its corn fields. You're definitely not going to find an abundance of mountains to climb and trails to walk or an ocean to swim in anywhere near Iowa.

Didn't actually stop in Des Moines for whatever reason. Got Subway in Ft Dodge, and now I'm at a hotel in Minnesota.

well you need to remember that I'm not vacationing in Iowa. I was just passing through on my way to Minnesota.

I'll be going back through on Saturday when I cut over to Michigan though.

I might be the only one here who can say yes to this one. Our high school lost in the State Football Semi-finals at their field when they went on that crazy 100-some game winning streak 8+ years ago.
