I drove through Iowa once. I didn't see any trees. I saw a lot of corn. A
freakin' ocean of corn.

My only exposure to Iowa (prior to moving here in '97) was driving on
I-80, on my way to somewhere else. I, too, thought Iowa was nothing
but corn, since the interstate highways have been built through the
easiest, flattest (and, thus, best for growing corn) terrain.

It took flying over Iowa to realize how much there really is in this
(and any other, really) state. There are heavily wooded areas
virtually everywhere on the east side of the state.

It's funny, though. In my 8 years in Iowa, thanks to my airplane, I've
seen far more of the state than any life-long native I've met.

Airplanes really *are* magic.
