My mum went to see her sister..who was married to a American guy.

Sight seeing was not top of the agenda....but she did enjoy the visit there......we have a album full of photos....we would have had cine  film of the visit too, but my other aunt who went on the trip with her forgot to remove the lens cap from the camera. 😂

What's so bad about it Eric?

Iowa is  one large cornfield with interspersed hog farms. Weather is atrocious; stupidly hot and humid summers with cold and windy winters. Very flat and featureless - look at a map of the State - all of the roads are dead straight and go on for miles. 

In recent years, the number of meth-heads in the towns gas skyrocketed.

Rural Iowa isn't all that bad as far as the people go though.

Is it still an active line Yen?

No, it has about a kilometre of track, plus a section running alongside the entry road, it's just a very small private museum run on the farmer's own land. I had it to myself for about an hour and a half, then about 4 people turned up for a quick trip along the line. The only downside is it is near Burnham on Crouch which is home of the Burnham bends I kept hearing about for years (which are not all that). So I passed about 40 bikes coming the other direction all nodding like mad at me, must be manic during the summer rather than a chilly February Saturday.

Oooh look, there's a ghost there.

The ghost of Tinker’s Hole

In the pitch dark of a new moon, so the tale goes, about a 100 yards south of the s-bend (also known as Hellfire Corner), take care, for you may see a young girl in a white dress run out in front of you, trying to cross the road.

She was, reputedly, a gypsy child knocked down by a coach-and-four over a century ago. Her spirit still haunts Tinker’s Hole…
