At Iowa State, there's an annual 26 hour team radio contest called Kaleidoquiz put on by the local FM station.
As part of the events, there is a road trip contest that involves driving the four corners in a circuit (they use various methods to ensure that a circuit is actually driven). The contest is 26 hours because that's how long it takes to drive the circuit starting and ending at Ames.

Iowa is by far the LOOOOOOOOOOONGEST state in the Midwest (not geographically but by how long it feels).
Plus, they are unforgiving with traffic court. They will not let you out of a ticket. MAYBE talk it down but you are still getting something.
But we've got things to see right on the interstate.
We've got the Brownell's store and the world's biggest truck stop.
Some of my best and worst memories come from Iowa 80 Worlds Largest Truck Stop
