Rural Iowa is without a doubt the best place to live: there’s no traffic, it’s so quiet you can hear the crickets at night, and you have some of the nicest neighbors (if you have them at all). Not to mention, you get to enjoy some of the most amazing scenery around. Here are 13 photos that prove that rural Iowa is the best place to live:
