About the Auto Tour

When you put four lifelong state park enthusiasts in a room together, the wheels start turning.

Kevin Szcodronski had recently purchased a 1930 Ford Model A and named it Anna Rea. Ann Raisch had always wanted to visit all the state parks in Iowa. Gerry Schnepf had spent fourteen years planning MotorIoway Vintage car-tours. And Mark Ackelson knew a thing or two about cruising all over Iowa—albeit on two wheels instead of four—as an avid cyclist and RAGBRAIer.

​

Together, Kevin, Ann, Gerry, and Mark have planned the ultimate summer road trip series: taking Anna Rea the Model A to every state park in Iowa in celebration of the State Parks Centennial.
