My this is an interesting little town. It has just about the right amount of people for my tastes. I think the part I would enjoy the ost is the Iowa speedway. It sure does have a variety of things to offer from the wrestling museum to live theatre.
It looks like we have been fairly consistent with our jaunt across the country.
Thanks for keeping track of us.
Have a great day, Rick
