Do you have a specific place in Iowa that you have to see?
There are many places in Pennsylvania to do all the things you mention. My first thought was to head north on US 219 from Dubois and then US 6 west to Kane. Check out the Allegheny NF and the Allegheny State Park in New York. If you still have to go to Iowa, you can head west on I-90 until it joins I-80.
Where in central PA? (I used to live in Union County).
Carlisle, near Harrisburg. goin to the quad cities
I'm still driving the 2003 Civic I bought at Bobby Rahal Honda in Mechanicsburg 202K miles.
Are you taking along a bike, kayak and camping gear?
Not many places to rock climb in the flatlands of Indiana, IL or IA. Check the websites of the State Parks.
Back to the top for someone else to answer.
Good luck!
