I remember driving across Kansas about 20 years ago. I was helping my cousin move to LA, and driving the rental truck while she and her roommate drove their cars. The ****ing truck had a governor on it that limited the speed to 65 mph. It was brutal, and endless. The odd clump of trees surrounding a distant farmhouse, flat endless horizon in either direction, heading towards a distant rise. When you nearly reach the top of the rise, you pray for something, anything different, but all you you'd get is another rise that looks just like it. Over and over. Ugh.

Driving across Tennessee is brutal too, as I recall.
There's a lot of that in the middle part of the country. |

The really shitty thing about that drive is that some idiot decided it would be a good idea to have lower speed limits for trucks than cars, and there is a ton of truck traffic on I-55 and lots of cops. So you'll frequently get stuck behind one truck doing 57 mph passing ten other trucks doing 54 mph. Bastards. And of course, during the summer, they'll cordon off one lane for 20 miles and the construction itself comprises perhaps 100 feet of actual roadway. Get out of one zone, and you'll hit another one 15 minutes later. Yeah, that drive sucks ass. |

I remember going on a road trip to Brownsville Texas once. I was just a kid, so I got all excited when we crossed into Texas... thinking we were almost there...
Yeah, Texas is big. |

Of course, once you get PAST that pit of despair otherwise known as Denver, the drive becomes breathtaking, all the way to Los Angeles. I guess the desert would get old eventually, but since I'd never seen it before even that was awesome. |
