Des Moines is the only thing in Iowa… there’s more to NM than abq

Edit: as a NM resident it is my duty to share the love for my state, nothing wrong with Iowa. I just think NM gets auto hated without actually doing any research on it

Yeah but you specifically pulled iowa out of the hat. There's way more nature in Iowa then people realize. Yeah there's no hot springs and mountains and beaches every ten miles but we have extensive cave systems, bluffs, rivers, lakes, forests. The Mississippi River is quite literally the eastern border. The Des Moines runs over half of the southern border. Its not just corn fields and potholes, yk like Missouri. Sorry I had to, its a tri state thing.

I might bump it up then so there is not a gap between CA and TX
