Iowa

We stopped at the Rest Area/Welcome Center on I-35 and had lunch on one of their covered picnic tables.
They had wi-fi as well as the usual info and maps.




Very nice building and the grounds were outstanding. Plenty of parking for autos and trucks with several covered picnic tables.




This marker was on the grounds and I enjoyed reading about the Mormons that had passed this way.





We move about the country so effortlessly today that we can't comprehend the hardships our earlier settlers encountered.
