    Thanks for the kind words! The reason this one is the finale is because I have now spent two summers driving about 10,000 miles each to make these videos and if I want to stay married, this is the finale!!! Feel free to take the baton and run with it - the road trips are a blast!

    Hi all, I posted the sequel (and finale) last weekend on YouTube, and after reading this thread again, I need to thank you all for the great ideas. Most of your suggestions made the cut! Enjoy. Oh yes, an empty JTS made the cut too. YouTube - Where in Iowa is Jeff?...The Sequel

    The Google map is another awesome idea! Matt Harding (the guy whose idea I "borrowed" in my video) is doing that on his latest round-the-world trip and it's a pretty interesting feature on his website. Might have to play around with that.

    The National Balloon Museum and the A-E Cows are on the list for WIJ2. Camp Mitigwa is an awesome idea! I went there 3 times as a scout and have nothing but great memories of the place! Except maybe my Order of the Arrow initiation - that was brutal. The Okoboji tower shot was taken at...

    Not sure if I need more suggestions now! The list was only 67 places long the first time, now its over 100 places, so it's going to be a busy year. Already started taping just to get a head start. Figured it was a good time to visit Sundown Mountain. Cool place!

    HELP! I have started preliminary planning for WIJ2, which will cover a lot of what I missed in WIJ1, and will revisit a few of my favorite Iowa spots. I will definitely take advantage of the many suggestions I've already received (I'm pumped to see the Cheeto), but I need a little more help with...

    Whoa c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s., I am definitely going to Manning to dance at the Hausbarn. I like the other suggestions, too. Anyone know the the scoop on the big Cheeto?

    This thing was motivated by a number of factors that all just combined enough for me to make it happen. 1) Work trip to Japan where I learned that many of the Japanese are dying to travel to the US, but hadn't even been to Hiroshima or Mt. Fuji; 2) Realized that since my wife and I didn't have...

    DMBclone, I found this site from my video page on YouTube. I was checking the links to the video and the name "cyclonefanatic" got my attention big time. All I had to do was click on it from my video page and it brought me here. Thanks again to you and the other posters for the kind words and...

    Hey, thanks for the kind words! Not sure I've ever been referred to as anyone's hero. Glad you enjoyed "Where in Iowa is Jeff?" (WIJ). I am flabbergasted at the attention this has received since the cool DM Register article. So much so that I am pretty sure there will be a WIJ2 to capture a...
