The Des Moines metro was divided into five or six motoring areas. The Iowa National Guard manned nearly every corner for security. Without a “Pope sticker” on your windshield, travel was restricted (you couldn’t drive to Windsor H from Urbandale, for example.)
Tens of thousands of people parked and walked for hours to get to the event.

The Kinze factory with the 12? row planter 100` in
the air is a great stop.Best planter made. We loved
going through Iowa seeing the large scale farms ya`ll have.

Great race track in Knoxville too.
