My forebears were in the Dakotas, maybe thats why I have a fondness for the plains and the wind, and I just drove through David Hamilton's town in Va, not a decent prairie view there and no constant wind. He probably doesn't even have a snow fence for the tumbleweeds to pile up against....he doesn't know what he's missing. Va was beautiful, charming, but as I said to Jim Hall, there aren't decent east-west, north south straight roads in the whole state, unlike out here where a crooked road is an employment opportunity for the highway engineers.
Jack, I used to hunt in southern western Can.... Bossevein, all that area north of the line above NoDak. Several of us are hunting prairie grouse around Mott ND in mid Sept, much the same country as in your pictures.
