The Hawkeyes take pride in having one of the best writing programs in the country, which came up often in chatting with our friend and host Dan. We picked up some books for the road at Prairie Lights, the town’s favorite bookstore, before playing a couple games of pool with the College World Series on in the background. En route to Chicago we stopped at the World’s Largest Truckstop, Iowa 80, an adventure unto itself for its sheer size and the people you’ll meet (and road stories you’ll hear over lunch).
