During my Iowa 2004 trip, I visites some sites along the Ronald Reagan Trail. The Ronald Reagan Trail in north central Illinois connects a number of town associated with the birth, boyhood and college years of President Ronald Reagan, including Tampico, where he was born, and Dixon, where he grew up. The towns capture a slice of 20th century small town midwestern life.
