What exactly happens in Iowa?
>>
Hogs, retirement for intelligence agents who did fucked up shit, a very strange gridded road system, le trad old people who hate anyone younger than them being successful in the slightest or having fun, in general probably one of the worst states next to kansas
>>
>>2753376
There’s a decent townball baseball league. The deer are large and well fed, the bird hunting is decent too. If you live by one of the rivers, the fishing can be pretty good.

But if you want lakes or forests or hills, you’re SOL. The land use is basically 95% monoculture row cropping. Lots of corn and beans, lots of feedlots where the corn and beans is converted to pork, turkey, or beef.
>>
>>2753376
You drive to Minnesota
>>
>>2753384
>gridded road system
The road system is gridded to avoid conflicting with the farmland. If you're big on ag it's a great state, decent economy, decent rights. If you want /out/... it's not the state for you. And the worst state is Ohio, uncontested.
>>
>>2753376

no, it's because they wanted everyone to be within a day's journey on horseback to the county seat so they threw it out in a big ol grid pattern and made a bunch of counties

It's where the old middle class from the Western states will move and retire. IE your future nursing home. Mock the plains states all you want, they're going to be the last affordable place to live in America so the poorfags on this board will inevitably land there eventually. You will be priced out of the fucking Ozarks of all places, /out/ in the future will be for rich Texans and Californians

I am born, raised, and currently in Iowa

There's corn, storms, no public land, and an alcohol culture second only to Wisconsin. I live in the second biggest city and it still feels like nothing happens here. The neatest /out/ areas are the Mississippi River Valley and the Driftless Area. There's areas nearby me to explore but there's no true wilderness to experience here. If you know people with land, you can have redneck fun, which should never be pooh-poohed if you get the right people together.

For real /out/ I go to the UP, seven hours away. Chicago is 4.5 hours away for social events.

I've lived in Iowa for 26 non-consecutive years and I've been to Des Moines like three times. The one time I stayed there for than a day and had the chance to walk around downtown on a Friday night, I was struck by how there were zero other people out. The only pedestrians I came across were a congregation of urban youths doing some light vandalism. Kind of like Chicago. I would hate to live in Des Moines.

I live in the driftless area in iowa.

There's effigy mounds, spook cave, big spring hatchery, pikes peak, and some others.(that's all I can think of off top of my head atm in the driftless area)

There's other outdoors shit too elsewhere just got too look. Reason why iowa gets a bad rep because the farmers fucked up most the environment in this state and it's depressing. I personally think iowa is a underrated state.

I have lived in Cedar Rapids, IA, and a little west of Madison, WI (Mount Horeb) - never realized 99.9% of my life has been spent inside the Driftless Area. Dubuque, IA, Galena, IL, and Spring Green, WI, have been my go-to spots for day trips.

My family owns property near Spook Cave. My brother and uncle went there once and enjoyed it, though my brother thinks Maquoketa is better. I was doing some reading about it a few days ago. Spook Cave is navigated in boats with tours lasting 45 minutes. It is a private cave developed in the 50's. It is intentionally flooded from Bloody Run to raise the water level from knee deep to navigable. Every winter, they lower it to dredge the mud out. For a while, it's been on my list of things to do, especially since it closes after October, but I don't have someone to go with and don't feel like riding around in the dark with some teenager or weird Driftless person. The people up there are really weird.

I called AAA to get my tire changed last week. The guy who showed up asked for a tip. I brought it up to a couple people, one of whom I know to be a very good tipper, and they both said that's outrageous. For a tour, I can understand that a tip would make sense, but how much do I give, and is this a cash at the end kind of thing? If so, I'll be sure to have some on-hand.
I would prefer to not go with strangers because of what I heard from my family. They said they weren't interested in hearing stupid ghost stories, so the guide didn't tell them. I don't want to hear 45 minutes of childish rambling. With strangers, the option to opt out does not exist.

Did you go to the Ice Cave? I went a couple months ago, but there was no ice. I'll go again if there is guaranteed ice.
I seem to handle heat better than those around me, despite being a fatty. But when I went to Europe this summer, I never felt rested for most of the trip due to never getting fully cooled. Just a couple hours in a cold room would've rejuvenated me for a day or two. I was in dire straits on a day long train journey, going through ketosis on a packed train, and one of the heat escapes that came to mind was a cave. I'm excited to go to a cave again, provided that it is a relatively spacious one. Built-in lighting that allows me to see without a flashlight would be nice too.
>>
>>2764842
I have been to a cave called "Ice Cave" at Wapsipinicon State Park but it's very small and only goes about 30 feet back.

I don't think you'll find any real caves here that ever have ice in them, even in the winter - the temperature stays around 60 degrees F at all times for most caves. But if I'm wrong I'd like to go visit those caves too.
>>
>>2765113
It sounds like we're talking about the same cave, but the cave is in Decorah, not near Anamosa. Go look up pictures or go to Google to read about it. It gets icy in the summer because of an "underground glacier" that cools rainfall, I think. The best time to go is late summer.

It's underrated.
It's not good, per say, but lacking any federal investment into a park, forest, or really any other wilderness land, it's not so bad. Plenty of state level public land for hunting, fishing, camping, etc, but it's mostly plains cut up with a few river valleys.

I don't understand the meaning of this. Maybe, I'm bluepilled. Is it that Iowa does not factor into the minds of most Americans and people of the world? I agree with that, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Or do you simply believe that Iowa isn't real in the same way flat Earthers believe the Earth is flat?

There's only a handful of backpacking options in Iowa and even the best of them still feel like you're camping on the back half of your grandparents farm by the creek that wasn't suitable for farming. This state will spend hundreds of millions on bicycling but won't spend a tenth of that to make better parks. There's a few places in southwest and south central iowa where if they just expanded the parks a little bit we'd really have some great /out/ options.

I would like to read some long form content from a Slipknot member on Iowa, the sort of thing you'd find in the Atlantic or a similar publication, or maybe a couple hour interview.

Weather has finally gotten nice in Iowa. Last week, two hot days made me sick. Now, it's time for fall fishing.

>Still doing meth out there?
Honestly no, meth usage is lower than fent here. Most people think that Iowa is a druggy central but in reality has the third lowest rate of any drug overdose including meth, fentanyl, etc. Weird to think right, our opioid addiction rate is also incredibly low by US standards too alongside South Dakota and Nebraska. Being an extremely boring state is amazing in this sense oddly because no homeless drug addicts come here because it's cold as fuck in the winter, hot as fuck in the summer, there is almost no scenery, drug usage is giga banned, and our states tell the homeless to fuck off when they try to invade our parks so they end up moving on to warmer more hospitable states. The big drug we use here, almost as much as Wisconsin, is alcohol.

>i was hoping someone would post this
It's out of date like mentioned. Kim Reynolds has been governor for like 7 years so it's probably about a decade old.
>Fuck Nebraska
Maybe things are different on the western side of the state but people here in the east/central mostly hate the FIBs (Fucking Illinoisan Bastards). Truthfully most FIBs are alright, it's just Chicago that acts like they're better than everyone.
>Shall Issue
CCW no longer required here, permits take a couple weeks to get. No pistol purchase permits any more either.
>TFW no suppressors yet
We can get suppressors no problem, we can't get AOWs and preban machine guns though.
>Muh bakken
Nobody talks about that anymore, must be from like 2015 when we had all the protestors.

Rest of it is pretty accurate though.

It hasn't appreciably rained for almost a month
As a mushroom hunter, I am dying here

>>2778737
Yeah, that really sucks, but at least we got rain in the spring. I am hopeful that we'll get some rain this fall.

Saw about 40 Brook trout in a tiny pool in a stream by the ice cave in decorah. Not the river itself but a tiny creek no more than 3 feet at its widest
>>

Wow. That's cool. I'd love to see you and more Iowans post in the fishing thread. Pretty soon, I'm going to go to South Pine Creek to do a brown trout catch and cook, since the DNR seems to want anglers to get rid of them.

I want to start fishing (and duck hunting) but I don't really know where to start. I was raised on 4chan and pop culture so I am deficient in skills that actually matter.
>>
>>2778831
Without rain there's no reason to even get off the couch. I was really going to try and find wild Corn Smut (on account of all the damn corn here) and make huitlacoche. Maybe next year.

From what I've read here Iowa is Saskatchewan

You might be a bit late to get into duck hunting this year, but fishing, especially in the Driftless, is an all year activity, and that doesn't even include ice fishing. My recommendation for you is to get into fishing first, since you'd need to take hunter's safety, buy a shotgun, buy waders, and get out hunting right away. Fishing, I'd just recommend that you watch some videos, look at some maps, and get out their yourself--much lower barrier to entry. Let me know if you would like some Iowa resources.

Southern MN here. We got all our rain for the year between May and July. We're all done now. No more sky water.
>>
>>2781010
Yeah. It would be nice if we got some, though. That spring rain was really nice.

Communities rely on sufficiently strong “pest control” in order to thrive.

A castle is a soul.
Clearly the world has had pestilence issues. However thankfully the churches are finally being destroyed across the world.

Midwesterners are weirdos. On the highway they're speed demons and in town they go 10 under

God forbid you hit a four way stop, get comfortable

Yeah that’s why I don’t go to leclair. How’s that tugfest faggots? Iowa can’t pull. Port Byron represent.

Can someone tell me about life in Postville? I'm particularly interested in the Hassidim but also interested in the other groups.

>108 countries and one Iowa town
Iowa is a hotbed of cult activity. Tucked away in Tom’s of quiet little areas are crazies of every variety. Mormons, Jews, Amish, various other apocalypse cults. Wanna see some shit look into the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield ia. Shits crazy!
>>
>>2781347
They seem like a cult, but they're not a cult. They're just a used up boomer trend. It's hilarious how significant they were by the 70's and how insignificant they are now. If you are a white person doing TM, you are the guy in the YouTube comments saying you're not like the other kids, that your uncle showed you what good music was in the seventh grade. I think the university is a shit school only useful for Indians and whites who can't get into any other school yet are too stupid to get a trade.
