As a past resident of IA(49years of it) I remember riding the trails around the Postville area. Very pretty, almost as nice as up here in NWWI, without the cornfields and ditch riding. If you can stay at home and ride, go for it! Thanks for posting the pics, very nice, brings back a memory of the day we rode into Postville and one of the guys had to strip down and dry his clothes at the laundrymat, didn't make it all the way across a creek.
