As I drive through the United States I am either enjoying the beauty of the land or I am heavy in thought. At times I am overwhelmed with the majestic scenery and I find myself talking out loud to myself because I want to share!
#The prairies in South Dakota have different type grasses than the prairies in Nebraska and the prairies in Kansas are different as well. Different nutrients for the grass grazing animals?
#South Dakota has many small well maintained farms. Missouri has many small farms but not as well maintained. Illinois has lots of big farms!
#In my van I do NOT do much passing – I am the vehicle being passed. I notice on two lane rural highways – many people do not know when to pass safely even though there are passing lines.
#Wind and high profile vans can be scary!
#Pelicans are everywhere throughout the Midwest!
#The Missouri river between St Joseph, Mo and South Dakota (on I-29) is still flooded. Storms happened in March/April – I drove this route the first week in July and saw the devastation of the flooding – farms under water, highway off/on ramps covered in smelly murky water. I drove the route last week and this area will NEVER be the same!
#I like being around people! I love being alone in nature! Life is interesting!
