(Please don't use MapQuest or AOLmaps or any of the internet maps to find us, they are WRONG!! Try just typing Bentonsport, Iowa as the destination without the address or zip code. Google maps has a good map, but they still use the wrong bridge. J40 crosses the western bridge, not the eastern one.)
