The Great Iowa Touring Book

For many people, Iowa is a series of rest stops, gas stops, and places to grab some food as they travel the interstate highways that cross the state. However, if one leaves the major routes and takes to the back roads, there's a lot more to this state than what's seen near the interstate exits.
