In this Flat Land, the Roads Are Arrow Straight.
“We whizz through the flat open land, not a car anywhere, hardly a tree, but the road is smooth and clean and the engine now has a "packed," high rpm sound that says it’s right on. It gets darker and darker. .. A flash and Ka-wham! of thunder, one right on top of the other. That shook me, and Chris has got his head against my back now.“
Near Gwinner, ND. This North Dakota highway is perfectly straight, often for 20 miles at a time. However really bad “S” curves do occur with no apparent reason. Surveying error "off-sets" in section lines? This problem is very evident, in the county roads in Northern Ohio where I grew up.
