General Notes
- All other roads were in fairly good condition, and we were able to drive 65 most of the time. The roads in Iowa were pretty nice and we were able to drive @ 65 MPH.
- The only area with a few minor hills was in Minnesota along the Mississippi River. Otherwise, it’s flat with plenty of corn and soybean fields.
