Buuuut once I talked it out to my flip camera (and subsequently-- you all) I no longer wanted to bomb all of Iowa! (Hooray!) The driving got very zen, and I actually ended up enjoying myself by the end. I think I owe the state of Iowa a formal apology... it isn't as bad as I say it is. As I drove west it got progressively more epic... kind of like an Ireland on steroids, and with more sun.
Plus, there were wind farms!!!! I am a sucker for a good wind turbine, and there are hundreds out here! They literally make me giddy.... it's the environmentalist nerd in me. I tried to snap a few pictures while driving by the first one I passed, but once I reached the crest of a hill and saw a hole sea of them out infront of me, I had to pull over. Turbines are just so cool!
Steve thought it was exciting too....
