Left Perrysburg, Ohio and rode 375 miles through Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to Clinton Iowa. Farms, farms, and more farms. Each doing their daily part in keeping us all fed. I realized two things: there are many more farmers than you might think, and they are unheralded, and undervalued.
Arrived in Clinton, and staying tonight with my very generous cousin Ron and his family (Scott and Sierra). The picture is of the mile long gravel road that leads to Ron and Scott's house. All around in every direction are cornfields, almost as far as you can see. And outdoors you hear almost nothing, perhaps just a few birds and your own breathing. If you enjoy peace and solitude, this is your place.
I am visiting many aunts and uncles here, and the weather is looking bad until Monday, so I am happily a Clintonite, for a few days...
