Ok, so I took the state quizzie thing. I answered the questions honestly and ended up with Maine...I've never been there in my entire life. Anyway, just to try an experiment, I did it again and answered every question with something related to prairies and buffalo and Native Americans and shit in an attempt to end up with Kansas as my perfect state. Which state popped up? IOWA. I may just be going to all the wrong places in this state, but uhh, where the hell are the prairies and buffalo here? All I've seen is a hell of a lot of corn, farms, towns, water, and forests. You want prairies? Take I-35 from Emporia to Wichita. You won't see anything but grasslands for 75 miles.

edit: I don't mean to bash Iowa. Aside from the happy little fields of dreams..err, corn, I think it's very beautiful in many parts of this state. I really think that people get the wrong idea about what's out here.

...beautiful? ...parts? The whole damn state is one big cornfield, how the hell can parts of it look more 'beautiful' than the rest?! ;)

Eastern Iowa near Iowa City is pretty, especially when you get close to areas with rivers and water. A really small area south of Boone is nice, too. Other than that, though, I would agree with you.

I lived in Cedar Rapids for eight months... wasn't too terribly impressed. Just go a few hours north, trees are the -norm-. ;)
