Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa.

Today's first stop was to see the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, Iowa. Driving down the country roads, surrounded by corn fields, felt like the final scene in the movie when the line of headlights can be seen heading toward the ballpark. A few helpful signs point the way, but if you didn't know it was there, you would miss it. The small white farm house and the ball field itself are settled back in among the corn fields, just like they seemed in the movie. Some things were different than we expected, but much of it seemed familiar. Of course we couldn't leave without walking back into the corn field where James Earl Jones disappeared in the movie.

Other than that, there's not much else going on in Iowa. Just corn, corn and more corn. We've decided that this crop is just entirely too plentiful, so we're going to help control the corn population by sneaking a few ears before our trip is through.

From here, it's on to the many adventures that await us in South Dakota!
