As Robert Pirsig says in ZMM => "So green this summer and so fresh. … There are white and gold daisies among the grass in front of an old wire fence, a meadow with some cows and far in the distance a low rising of the land with something golden on it. Hard to know what it is. No need to know ."

…The Dakotas Are Good For Growing Sunflowers, For Their Seeds Both As Human Food & For Bird Feeders.
….After harvest seeds, dropped on the road can grow & bloom in the grass by the pavement! This is seen here, and also seen along read ahead, some ~10 miles before Henry reaches the Missouri River.
….Prius automatically came to a halt for a photo, which evolved into => Capture a Panorama!!

…..2) Study For US 12 General Direction, From South Dakota, To The East, where you will see the following summary, where ZMM Book Towns are in Italic =>
.
From Miles City, MT, US 12 goes mostly East some 90 miles, and after passing ZMM Book Town of Baker, MT, turns SSW and crosses into North Dakota, passing other noteworthy ZMM Route towns of Bowman, ND & Lemon, ND , And there, US 12 shifts South, and crosses the border into South Dakota. And for ~100 miles, is just a bit South of the border (=ZMM Narrator’s “Reservation land” ), until it angles down to where it crosses the Missouri River, at Mobridge, SD . ( <= Town Name is a contraction of Missouri Bridge ,)
….From there US 12 continues, mostly East with a “bit of South”, to Minneapolis, MN. As seen on maps, in South Dakota & East of the Missouri River, US 12 is most of time exactly East &.nearly straight!!
