People of the Midwest, Where do you go?

Minnesota images. I think anyone born in the "The of 10,000 Lakes" has water in their veins. I don't think I could ever live in an arid place and feel at home as a result.

Nebraska’s state tourism slogan is, “Honestly, it’s not for everyone.” Seriously, I am not making this up.

Very scenic photos!

A story about the prairies, perhaps four years ago during a three day road trip to Saskatchewan (infamous for flat prairies), I stopped in the town of Tompkins for some lunch as I was heading to Val Marie/Grasslands Nat'l Park... Had a great meal in the small cafe on the short main street, and I remember a couple from Spain also being there... This discussion came up with the cafe owner... He talked about the perception of flatness, how that portion of the Trans Canada Highway is very flat, yet if you drive a short distance to the south of Tompkins you would run into rolling hills (ie. not flat), but the average person driving through that stretch for the first time and just passing through without stopping will never notice that...

And Grasslands Nat'l Park (not that far southeast of Tompkins) is a natural wonder, alright very few trees, but there are rolling hills, one gravel road through it, hiking trails, great viewpoints from the top of hills, etc... And it is so isolated with so few visitors that it is free of charge to go in...

I have relatives in Saskatchewan, around the Moose Jaw area. I've never visited, but they came and visited us when I was a child. Very delightful people. I also have family in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. I've never been there either.

Saskatchewan is one of my favourite places to explore, Moose Jaw is a rather infamous town, lots of urban legends about it, some about Al Capone ...
