“…this stretch of the road was particularly long. With every inch of scenery beginning to look like the hundreds behind us, the hours wore on at a slow grind. With only the thrill of crossing the border keeping us awake, the familiar was left behind and the pace was held. Time stood still as the landscape transformed into the flat, sparse plains so often envisioned, yet nothing remains constant on a dynamic journey. As strangers in a strange land our will set the course, drawing us towards the pillar-like grain elevators marking out the horizon line. Not before long the looming grey storm clouds had us surrounded and opened up with rain.”
