Born and raised in Iowa for the first 38yrs of my life, I am quite familiar with RAGBRAI and found your experiences very entertaining. One of my good friends lent out his land for many of the bikers to camp on one year. Help him out making everyone comfortable. Was alotta fun talking with everyone. Especially liked your trip to West Bend's Grotto. Been there many times. Always fascinated with personal achievements.
Much like Bishops' Castle, out this way.

Bishop Castle - Jim Bishop's Castle Attraction Near Westcliffe, Colorado

This thing was built stone-by-stone by hand and one man. Unbelievable
