Big IOWA letters.

Giant IOWA Sign

Giant IOWA letters stand in a park near a visitor center. Fun to take pictures by (and on) once you find Trestle Bridge Park!

You'd think something like this would be at a border -- Hey, we're in Iowa! -- but Manning is 70 miles from the state line, and far from any tourist throughway.
