Best roads through Iowa

I kind of like 65 south and this would cut out Des Moines. I could go over the interstate and end up close to Pella and go through Ottumwa and over to Mt. Pleasant. I would have to start seeing what time it would be by than to start looking for rooms. I wonder what a good place to stay down in this area. I would like to make Keokuk, but I would just have to see what the timing would be.
Looks like HWY 6 would take me back to far north. This way I could also take 34 for a ways.

Hwy 65 is great for getting around Des Moines. I am not sure how you would be coming in to Des Moines but 163 is the quickest way out to Ottumwa. It is 4 lane divided though. Hwy 5 is more scenic and fun from Carlisle to Hwy 2 in Centerville and faster than Hwy 65 to Hwy 2. I have been meaning to hit that J40 road though after Centerville and out of Bloomfield. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/41.5...!1m0!3e0?hl=en

My Ex is from Fairfield [haynes family]. Been there many times before the Maharishi people took over.
Got hit right between the eyes by either a june bug, a golf ball hit driven by tiger woods or a 30-30 one night riding through a cornfield on my way to Sturgis. Barely got the bike stopped before things went black.
