Today's drive was from the badlands of North Dakota to the badlands of South Dakota, well almost. I realize that Rapid City isn't in the badlands but we will pass through that area first thing in the morning on our way eastward. Today's scenery was mostly various stages of hay production. I don't think we have ever seen so many bales in the field both big round ones and a few small square ones. Some were working native prairie grasses and others working huge fields of seeded crops. They must get sufficient rainfall in this area as we didn't see any irrigation plots.
On this route there weren't any mountains to twist and turn around so the highways were mostly due north, south, east, or west. There were many miles without the use of the steering wheel to the point that I hoped it wasn't frozen in position and would work whenever we did come to a bend in the road.
