AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION:
If you like tooling down two lane highways eastern Iowa is a good place to come. We may not have the tightest twisties, but you can still lean into a curve or two.
This route will take you near two state parks, Wapsipinicon and Maquoketa Caves. Nice places to escape from the summer heat. You'll pass through small towns that if you blink you'll miss them, but there is usually a cafe that the regulars always meet at. These are great places for stories, tales, and conversation. The town of Anamosa has the National Motorcycle Museum http://www.nationalmcmuseum.org/ and don't forget to stop at J & P Cycle just outside of town on Hwy 151 for parts and accessories. FlapJacks in Maquoketa http://www.flapjax.com/ is a great place for lunch or dinner. It's right off Hwy 61 on the main drag. Stop in Mount Vernon, home of Cornell College, for a slice of Small Town Americana. COMMENTS:
