1. This is great!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

2. Wow, too cool.

He needs to do a sequel! Will have to email this to some people - thanks.

I've been to at least 24. Maybe more from the childhood days that I can't remember.

3. They still have horse races in Iowa

Very surprised not to see the Old Capitol or anything Davenport in the mix.
Lost count - been to many. The most surprising was the Ocheyden Mound which was just that a huge mound. I was expecting a hilly area but it was just this big mound in the middle of flat.

4. Maybe he will do a sequel this summer

There are a lot more sights to see! It looks like he had a great time on his journey.

5. I have a vague memory of a controversy a couple decades ago about the mound

Apparently a neighboring farmers' manure pile was the highest point in Iowa!

6. That's just awesome!

Just watching that makes me want to road-trip around the state.

7. that was so cool!

my parents were from Iowa - I was born there - and I only get back every few years. I have been to several of those places, passed through a few, familiar w/the rest, and was so happy to have that little tour!
anyone ever heard of Pleasantville - 'City of Roses?' just curious...
and - I do love Iowa!
thanks!

8. UPDATE: He is doing another one -- And he's looking for suggestions!

Some one on YouTube asked him about his next one "The plan is to have it up on YouTube by Thanksgiving 2008. I've got literally about 102 dancing clips yet to shoot. If you go to Google Maps and do a search on "Where in Iowa is Jeff", you can see where I plan to visit this year. LOTS of work to do!"
