Old Highway 141 - By ThomSS

Came up to Coon Rapids from Addair/White Pole Rd jumped on 141 in Coon Rapids, this was part of our route from Des Moines to Sioux City to get off the boring slab. Picked up Old 141 in Smithland, (there is a right-hand lane for it if you are riding west just past or at Smithland Country Store) rode to US-75/US-20 interchange. Pavement was okay, if memory serves, rough in a few places, but a curvy, fun road with hardly any traffic. I am sure there were some views here and there, but don’t recall them. Actually rode the 141 part from Sloan to Smithland (authors description) on return trip home, if I recall better road surface than Old 141, but more traffic and doesn’t have the twists. Like the Old 141 section better.
