These days have been quite long, every day like 400+ miles to drive across countryside that is really beautiful and plentiful, but still can get boring if there is a relatively straight road across it. However, many photos tell the storey, so enjoy the following instead of too many words of mine:

A relatively steep ladder, Badlands National Park, South Dakota, USA

A relatively small sign for a relatively important site in history, Minuteman Missile NHS, South Dakota, USA

A relatively tall sign for the great nothing, Fort Pierre National Grassland, South Dakota, USA

Relatively dangerous, Rattlesnake Sign, South Dakota, USA

He's aimed pretty straight at me..., Sheep, Badlands NP, South Dakota, USA

Relatively colorful - the Badlands just after sunset, South Dakota, USA

Relatively straight and boring ... state route across the Plains of the Dakotas, USA

Mysterious and foggy, Detroit Lakes Area, Minnesota, USA

Quite a few trees, Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota, USA

Still relatively young and small: Mississippi River in Minnesota, USA

Relatively spacious... and a great view, courtesy of Diamond Membership, Hampton Inn Marquette on the shore of Lake Superior, Michigan, USA
