Heres an oldie but a goodie from Hornick Iowa. Found this rig along US 98 near Fairhope, Alabama.

If Scott does not mind, I thought that I would revive this thread with some current Iowa apparatus, that was taken by Paul Barrett and me.



First up is Des Moines, IA



We have been there twice, once in 2005 and this fall. Most of the current apparatus is built by Toyne, with the exception of some of the aerials.
