In Iowa you would have to put in on a trailer, with a wide load
permit, and haul it to a truck stop to get it pumped out. There could
be a real temptation there...

Yet another reason not to live in Iowa... :)


Iowa is a nice place, and it does have the
Mississippi, so you can start a cruise to anywhere from here. It just
lacks large boats and places to use them. The water skiing as as good
as anywhere. All the docks have to be taken out each fall, They used
to be post and planks and it was tedious.

Psst. I've been to Iowa. Probably a dozen times. You are right, it is a
nice place. But I wouldn't want to live there. Too far from salt water.
I'd probably like boating on the Mississippi River, though.
