Campus TOUR B4 the Game.

We got to Ames about an hour and a half before the game started, so I thought I'd give Drake a tour of the  Iowa State campus.

First we drove by the house where I used to live 26 years ago.  I really didn't think it would still be there.....but it was.  It looked about the same, maybe a little better.  I'm bettin' if I went inside, it probably still had the SAME carpet! (in typical college town rental house fashion)

We found a parking space by Lake Lavern and took off on a walk about through the campus.  All the sudden, it seemed like I was in a time warp.  Drake was amazed by the many different buildings that classes are held in.  I could vaguely remember being in some of them.....probably because I wasn't very MUCH! (not so lol)

There's some tree on campus that gives off a distinct smell.  I stopped Drake to see if he could smell it.  To this day, anywhere I smell that smell, it takes me back to the Iowa State campus.  I wish I knew what tree it was.
