The Largest Frying Pan in Iowa

Brandon, IA.  Okay, so once upon a time, this was the "Largest Frying Pan In The World".  Titles like that just never last.

Hiking

Cedar Valley Nature Trail

This appears to have been a railroad track bed.  Paved, very nice.  We ran this with Polly for exercise.  There are many bikers on this trail too.  We started in Urbana and ended up going to a cute, little coffee shop just off the trail.


Food and Drink

Jams Coffee Bar

We saw a sign for this while running on the Cedar Valley Nature Trail.  Super cute and great service.  There is an outdoor seating area with tables and umbrellas.  The store sells a lot of things such as crafts, coffee, tea, beer, wine, etc.  There is a yarn store right next to it.
