We first stopped in Clear Lake, Iowa. Here, on 2/3/59, a plane crashed in a corn field around 1:00am which was carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper as well as the pilot Roger Petersen. My parents were seniors in high school when this tragedy took place and I am interested in this type of pop culture, which is why we stopped here. You can read more about it here.
These glasses depict the beginning of a half-mile long trail back into the corn field to the crash site. Buddy Holly wore glasses similar to these.

"If you build it, they will come."
Carved into the bleachers from the movie. It says "Ray loves Annie."
We played in a little "pick up" game which was taking place. Here's B2 on first.
And B1 on first
On the bleachers
