But, nonetheless, these sites were worthy of attracting tourists – I just could not imagine how it would be in the high ...

The landscape has changed from residential to small farms, to what looked like Western South Dakota, to now what looks like Western Kansas – flat and open – except for the adobe enclosures in place of the traditional white farm house. The transformation in scenery has been wonderful to watch. Travel on the train has been interesting by way of people ...
