Today is the first day of my quest and my endeavor to embrace daily adventures. I am going to the tiny, unincorporated village of Zook Spur, which is near the equally tiny town of Madrid, Iowa. Zook Spur first took my interest while I was pouring over a detailed map of Polk County. This tiny spot on the map took my fancy, mainly for the strange name. My friend Frank wants to write a novel in which the heroine is namd Ruby Van Meter and the hero is named Colfax Mingo. I thought Zook Spur would be an excellent side kick.
My friends, I must say, are more than willing to help me on this adventure. They have embraced the idea with open hearts and minds, and I believe that once this quest begins it will open up our eyes to all sorts of possibilities for life in the midwest. It is so easy to dismiss the midwest as having nothing to do, but I believe that is based solely in the fact that we don't see so much of what is around us. I hope to change that.
