The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (KJV) (Psalm 23: 1)

Let's take a little road trip to Southern Iowa.

I told you we were going to GO SOUTH! Look at the desert cactus by the sign on Steel & Wheel in Lineville, Iowa.

What's better than a picnic in the park? It could be lunch at the gazebo in the middle of the main street in Milo.

Days of the 5 cent "hamberger" at Madge's Cafe in Allerton are gone. But the local history lives on.

A southern Iowa treasure, located a few miles from Corydon, is the International Center for Rural Culture and Art.

I have discovered that each regional area of Iowa has its own personality and history. Today, I have shared with you just a few things to do and see if you GO SOUTH.
