All that boring flat land must have soon been forgotten when you got to the interesting stuff. Going places, getting amongst them, doing things; that's what motorcycling is all about to me. Bring 'em on; inspire others.
I thought I might feel the same way crossing west on my first trip through the Canadian prairies and Rocky Mountains. You'd expect the flat land to be dull. However, it really has a charm of its own - if you look for it. The wind on the prairies can be pretty incredible. Not boring at all. The sunsets can be absolutely stunning. Nothing dull there. The wheat fields - as they undulate with the breeze like cilia responding to sound waves on the organ of corti. Mesmerizing. The wonderfully fresh smell of cow $hit - um well.... Seeing a city emerge out over the horizon - so many miles away. Inspiring.
I hear ya. I was hill country born and raised, but spent a good bit of time on a tractor cultivating on plains, so the romance is lost on me. I like hills..... don't let that spoil it for others though!
Well done, and thanks for taking us along through your pictures.
An inspiration.....
Now, to get hold of a digital camera and keep a record of my trips in future.
I still have not replaced the 35mm Nikon I gave to an ex girlfriend's brother when he started studying journalism a few years back.
