As we have traveled from North Carolina to Minnesota, we have seen some of the most beautiful farmlands. We spent a couple of days in Forest City, Iowa, and you could see for miles on either side of the highway. We saw cropdusters along the way as well (they're always fun to watch), and fields of wind generators, especially in Iowa. One afternoon the air was very still and the turbines weren't turning. When vehicles were traveling along the gravel roads, the dust boiled up behind them and then hung over the corn fields like low-handing clouds.
While we were in Forest City, Iowa--purpose was to have work done on the motorhome--we noticed everything is Winnebago. Winnebago County, Winnebago River, and the plant itself takes acres and acres of property, plus the customer service center, the activity center, and the welcome center that offers the tours of the plants. While our motorhome was being serviced, we hung out in two places: First, the Northern Iowa Heritage Village which was amazing, and then we went over to a city park set up our chairs in the shade of a tree and enjoyed the rest of the morning enjoying our surroundings. We were thankful for overhanging clouds and a nice breeze that kept the temperatures down--just what we ordered.
By the time we got to the park, Winston was exhausted. The nice, cool grass provided a perfect spot for a nap.
