yeah, driving across indiana really gives me an appriciation for not living in indiana...have you ever been to eastern colorado/western kansas before? That is seriously one of the most surreal places I've ever been...dead flat, mostly uninhabited. and just mile after mile of treeless fields. It's actually kind of impressive if you're overanalytical like me and think of it as a microcosim of the most fertile and efficient agricultural land in the world, and realize that the hundreds of miles that you can see at any given moment are only a tiny percentage of the actual scope of the great plains. That being said, it's still boring to drive through; there's nothing to look at. Oklahoma is like that in some parts, but central oklahoma, where OKC is , is really more low, rolling hills covered in dense, small trees, with occasional towns, cities, and tract housing developments carved out of it.
And I agree about Arizona...what a beautiful state. I grew up in New Mexico, and my father used to take me and my brother driving in the mountains to look for interesting rocks, and one time we ended up driving to arizona to stand in a giant crater. That was awesome.
