Hi, wondered if there was an Iowa patrol? I will be relocating to Pleasantville, IA in July and would love to make some friends.
I would love to hear from you Iowa guys! |

There are a few of us here, we had an unofficial mtg awhile back about doing a Mississippi river run sometime.
Since you brought it up, maybe you can be our prez. There is a Iowa jeep club that meets in central Iowa that has old and new jeeps. I haven't made it to any meetings or events yet. Their big fall meeting is always the same week end as the fall color tour. They have made a real effort to reach out to us older cjs. Welcome to Iowa, looking forward to meeting you. steve

Two jeeps on the road, one is close and the rest are dreams.

I would also add that I am prob the closest to your new destination. Most are east of here. If there is anything I can do for you on this end, let me know.
What brings you to iowa? Most would say this is a "from" state, not a "to" state. Also if you are travelling back to CO empty in your moving process, I have a 1942 water can that needs to go to Lew.

Iowa and I go back a bit. I first moved to Ackworth, IA in 1979. My wife and her family are from Pleasantville and that is where we are moving to, to help her Dad out. I lived in Fairfield, IA (home of Vintage Power Wagons) and Stockport, IA as well. I am originally from CT but have grown quite fond of Iowa over the years and am comfortable calling her Home.
The move will be a one shot deal, so I won't be able to transport your water can |

Well, in that case, welcome back. We'll get you your gun permit when you settle in.
Just remembered there is a jeep/gun guy in Osceola. Wonder what rick has been up to. steve

I have an idea, how about you and Eric take this on together? Let Lew or myself know. Would love to have an Iowa Patrol. It's really not work, more Fun than anything. No more than both of you do already. Let me know.

Erics name is on the list.
I only know two things about Eric, he has never been in jail and I don't know why . My job as he assumes this exonerated position will be to try and keep him that way..............................
