Of course, the pictures don't do the flight justice (they never do), but this year -- once feared to be a real "dud" for fall colors -- has turned out to be quite beautiful here in Iowa. Too bad it won't last much longer... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Central Wisconsin's colors are peaking right now. Best combinations that
I've seen in years, normally some trees color out before others but this year they are all bursting at once. Some of the maples and aspens are absolutely blinding! Nasty weather in the forecast, but this weekend may be nice enough for some flight-seeing.

Shoot, there's even a town, located about 20 miles from Iowa City, called "Lone Tree"... Strangely, it has more than one tree! ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Finding the small Iowa towns' airports in the dead of winter is fun. Just look down for a big clump of snow-covered cedars, there'll be a small town hiding inside the trees. Finding the snow-covered runway against the snow-covered farmlands around the airport is another story however. |

A freakin' ocean of corn. |

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
