I've been up there. Ever go to Earlville for the Romper Room Fun Run? It's a motorcycle fundraiser held every June at the racetrack.

You mentioned NE Iowa in another thread I was reading. I am in Cedar Rapids. We have a "where in Iowa are you camping" thread for local people. Always cool to meet and greet in the State. There is also Frog Rally in October in the Amana's 2017 will be set up once the paperwork is done.
