FIELDS TRIP
U.S. 61 Iowa

Spanning from U.S. 90 near downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, to Interstate 35 in Wyoming, Minnesota, U.S. 61 connects the bayous of Louisiana to the lakes of Minnesota. It runs along the Mississippi River. On Day Two of the Fields Trip, I drove U.S. 61 from U.S. 20 in Dubuque, Iowa, to Interstate 80 in Davenport, Iowa.
