Do you still live in Iowa?

Snakes shouldn't be called a problem, just because they exist. Are these rattlers attacking , extremely numerous, or . a problem because one has to watch for them when walking or hiking. What kind of rattlers? The kind of snake I liked to see when I was a kid was the blue racer, which I understand are not very much seen anymore.
All snakes are protected in my state, including the only two venomous kinds (timber rattlers and copperheads). All but garter snakes are protected in Iowa.
I've identifed garter snakes, corn snakes, black snakes, and copperheads at my home.

No, Davenport, Florida, it is close to Disney, which I have no desire to visit.
Do I? Yes.
Why? Because I was born here and raising a family in small town Iowa I believe is ideal.

I had to train county staff in northwest Iowa over the fall in 2021 and Primgar had to be the crappiest small town county seat I have yet to visit in Iowa or other states I've visited.
They should give you a house and then pay you 40,000 to live there
I'm in Iowa again, but hoping it is only a short term deal. Des Moines really is a nice area, but a lot of my friends who live here are married with kids and it's just not where I'm at in life. I'm out of town for 3-4 days at a time during the week so it makes it harder to meet new people. Also doesn't help that the GF is a homebody.
I grew up in OBrien county and that one had me scratching my head as well.
I mean, where are they even shopping for groceries, Spencer or Sheldon?
I wish I could argue with you. It’s my home county seat. On the other hand, we shot a lot of pheasants around Primghar back in the day. That part of the county can be birdy.
Sorry you didn't like it. I guess everyone looks for different things when looking where to live. I love it here.
Yeah nice houses, restaurants, stores, and healthy people are my thing more so than free lots in a dying town
What's tough is watching most small towns in the Midwest drying up and blowing away.
It's incredible seeing on Ancestry.com that at one time 90+% of Iowa's small towns had HIGH SCHOOLS!

Are there even any stores in Primghar? Is anything still open there? It was a dead burg back in the day. Glad you like it.
My guess is you travel about 20 miles to a real store. But if that’s how you want to do you.. well, you go….
Okay, you had to brag, so here it is:
Upstate New York has the best cheese IMHO, followed by Vermont and California, but I concede that Whisky cheese may be better than Iowa or Minnysoda, except for Maytag Blue. Don't they color that cheddar yellow in Wisky?
And they're not the same state. They're not even the same within each state. The Driftless is way different than Door County, for example. Iowa City is way different than Orange City. Winona is way different than Hibbing.
Happy now?
I went on Wisconsin cheese curd bender back in the late 90’s and think the last of that cement gut bomb has finally left the building.
These days, Humboldt Fog is the one cheese that I consistently buy while rotating out most others.

I thought only one thing came outta Humboldt and it isn’t cheese......
But it sure as sh*t makes you foggy. They got a documentary out it that was fairly interesting.
It’s a different world in those hills. I spent nine months overseeing a medical coop’s garden, camping on the property most of the time.
There are dairy farms on the coast and Cypress Grove makes good cheese. Pretty sure there are oyster farms too.
Reminds me of the old moonshine stories from the hills and hollers.
Yeah I’ve seen it, but for whatever reason I already knew it was popular for reasons other than cheese lol
Well, not fat….not really. Could stand to lose a few. I just love fried chicken and pizza! Getting them together, in One place….it’s kinda like heaven!
