Lots Of Space Out Here, But No Loneliness! Several Miles West of Bowman, ND.
"Before we are out of town I am sweating again. The cool drying-off period doesn’t last even half a minute. .. The heat just slams into us. Even with dark sunglasses I have to squint my eyes into slits. There’s nothing but burning sand and pale sky so bright it’s hard to look anywhere. It’s just become white-hot everywhere. A real inferno."
3 Mi W of Rhame, ND. You can tell from the dense low clouds in my photo that it was cool and ready to rain. At the beginning of the panorama, the Highway going off into the distance is West, the ZMM Route direction of travel. As you scroll, you will see my car. I stopped here because that dirt road (see stop sign) provided a safe place for me to park my car off the Highway. You can see this dirt road come in from the North, go by the neat farm house, cross the highway at my car, disappear behind the low hill, and gradually fade into the prairie distance to the South. That miniature mountain has a curious dark hole. Does any one know what is inside? The highway going into the distance (approximate panorama center) is East, and opposite the direction of the ZMM Route. North is in direction perpendicular to the car side of the highway.
