Happy circumstance:
Not long ago, I had the opportunity to write about many of Iowa’s counties. As luck would have it, I’d lived in, pedaled through or otherwise visited many of them. Some, coincidentally, were already pretty high up on my list of favorite places.
A few of those stories have now been published, in the “soft launch” this week of iowa.com. If you click on that map, you’ll see that a lot of work still needs to be done. Then, I suppose, will come a “hard launch.”
I thought I’d point out three stories that are online now – followed by one or more reasons I’m singling them out today:
- Allamakee County – for its wild, remote beauty.
- Cerro Gordo County – because now I want to sleep in a yurt.
- Scott County – because I lived there long ago and it has one of the prettiest recreation trails I’ve seen anywhere (maybe you read about it here).
There are other reasons, too.
As more of these county profiles are published, you’ll probably see why I have this urge to visit these places again and again.
