    Des Moines River, we won’t cross the Iowa River this year.

    Was really hoping we would go through Eldon and see American Gothic.

    Agree on Eldon. Seems the routes are more boring this yea with simplest routes. Thursday is how you would drive it. Disappointing not going on more county roads.

    The road (V64) from Lebanon to Libertyville is narrow, hilly, curvy, and beautiful.The towns are tiny, but the trip will be interesting. We’re meeting tomorrow in Douds to see what kinds of facilities and food/drink we can provide for you. I’m really looking forward to this!

    Oh, and if you really want to go to Eldon, it’s only ten miles from Douds.
