My sister has brought back a couple decent sized bags from northern Iowa. It's really not too far from you...
Just follow the Mississippi to Praire Du Chen, WI. Now take a right across the river to Iowa. Go straight to Mononna. From there go west 40 furlongs til you see the deer carcass on the road. Take a right. After going about 4,400 fathoms you should see an eagle's nest in a pine tree. At this point your very close. There will be a series of turn offs...take them in this order..left, right, left, right, left, left, right. After the last right, park your car (it as far as a vehicle can go). You must now walk about 800 chains to the north. After which...your there!..your in morel country!
My sister mistakenly mowed over two (I cried) outside her house in the city (Davenport) near her ferns. I looked in the ferns and found an 8 incher. Sauteed it and along with a phat T-bone steak that I had broiled...I got down! Alas, I personally only found 1 this year. Next year I'll do better...I'll send you some if you would like.
