The reason for visiting Iowa City, Iowa is to attend a three-day conference on Winter Roads Maintenance and Surface Transportation Weather. It kicked off at 1pm so I had a couple of hours up my sleeve in the morning to have a look around the hotel we're staying in, which also happens to be the conference venue.
Here it is.
The hotel is built on a 'brown-land' - old industrial area that has been revitalised into a wildlife refuge alongside the Iowa River.
A number of birds and other critters now find this place home, including water snakes and bald eagles. I didn't see any of these, but there are a bunch of Canadian Geese here. Some of them have young chicks with them.
Righto - I'm in conference mode now - so over to Nige to tell you what he's been up to today...
