Rolling Iowa Farmland

Photo taken at mid day from the Grinnell Rest Area on I-80 between Iowa City and Des Moines.

Mid day is not the best time for landscape photos, but it was when I was there.

According to the plaque at the Rest Area, Grinnell was founded by Josiah Grinnell after following the famous advice of Horace Greeley who told him to "Go West, young man, go West."

Grinnell is the home of Grinnell College alma mater of actor, Gary Cooper and Robert Noyce, inventor of the process the made the micro-chip possible, and thereby the modern electronics revolution.
