It took about 5 hours to get here (Iowa City) from Minneapolis, not counting a Pizza Hut stop around the halfway mark.
I didn't see much corn (wrong time of year) but I did see plenty of corn fields and windmills... lots and lots of windmills.
The weather sucked for a bit... really heavy rain and almost no visibility for part of it, but we eventually punched through it and got here.
Checked into the hotel... hmm, not so great. It's kind of a dive and the security lock is busted off my door. That's not all that encouraging.
The good news? There's a Sonic right down the street, and a Hardees next to us. All I need is a Chick Fil A and I'm all set.
Looking forward to the Iowa Code Camp tomorrow... but first, a trip to Sonic tonight.
