Anna Rea
HERITAGE AUTO TOUR
Anna Rea and her primary crew members, Kevin Szcodronski and Ann Raisch successfully completed the Iowa State Parks Heritage Auto Tour. Anna Rea at 92 years of age performed dutifully throughout the 94 state parks tour. She had a few "hiccups" along the way, but nothing that took us off the planned schedule. We want to thank all the people that joined us on the tour and the park staff and friends groups members that spoke to us while we visited the state parks. We also want to thank Jessica Reuter for designing this website and Jessica Rilling for her early enthusiasm and support as we planned the tour. We are particularly grateful for the generous monetary donation from Tracy Burt to help develop this website.
NOTE: This website will be shut down this coming December. One last time, Anna Rea says, "AHOOOOOGA"!!
Support the Auto Tour
The Anna Rea Heritage Auto Tour is a passion project for four individuals who want to increase public awareness for Iowa's beautiful state parks, build community, and have fun. (Kevin, Ann, Gerry, and Mark are all retired! If it's not fun, why do it?!)
The Byways of Iowa Foundation is pleased to host this project. It's a big tour on a small budget. You can help support safe and happy travels for Anna Rea and crew by donating any amount. 100% of the donations will go directly towards the Heritage Auto Tour, including gasoline (Anna Rea gets 10-15 miles to the gallon), food and lodging for the crew, and maintenance and potential repairs for Anna Rea.
