Description
In driving from here to there in South Dakota, I chose a route that would not include the interstate highway. Initially it was all farmland but soon the road became unpaved. No big deal…I figured that would only be for a short distance. But time and miles went by and the road was still unpaved. And I wasn’t seeing any other cars. At all. Oh…and no cell phone service. I started worrying….what if I have car trouble?! More time and miles went by and I’m sill on dirt roads in South Dakota farmland. Your mind goes in strange directions. Eventually, I saw a sign that said I was entering Buffalo Gap National Grassland and the landscape became more scenic. I was still on dirt roads and it was still deserted…but at least it was pretty! So I took a break for some photos. Buffalo Gap National Grassland is one of 20 National Grasslands and is one of the most extensive, productive ecosystems in the United States. It is administered by the USDA. End of the story…after a couple hours I reached a paved road, no flat tire, no car trouble, not lost. Just in desperate need of a car wash after hours of dusty driving!
