86/2379/1484 Corn, corn and more corn, with a few church steeples . Road is poor and some traffic, have to watch the traffic for trucks, but that is the norm. Pleasant ride into Lowden where we have Main street and again Broadway intersecting Main. Broadway is by far the second most common name of downtown streets second to Main Street. We stop at the Corner Cafe where they are very friendly. Have the chicken , cottage cheese and peach special platter for $ 4.00! Elise the owner takes our picture for their wall of tourists . Interesting old building, where the air conditioner drain comes into the men's bathroom and drips into the sink......We take a picture of the outside cafe and old opera house from the 1800's. Rest of the ride is easy through rolling hills and more corn fields. Come upon a crop circle picture along the road, looks like a golf club! Then a short way up I come upon Ansel's nine hole, where Ansel has built nine holes in his corn fields around a few acres that surround his farmhouse, should have gone back for a picture. Roll into Muscatine around 2p with nothing else remarkable. Motel with more commercials and old tv......or maybe a good book again.
