That’s overpopulated with dust, sand and rocks.
Water particles and plants hit hardest.
Back to your regularly scheduled zotting.
Is that photo of Wyoming? Good reason it's desolate. Last time I was in Wyoming, it was probably 35 degrees below zero, and the wind was blowing probably 50 mph. The door on my vehicle was almost ripped off when I opened it at a stop in a tiny town.
You'll note, the desirable regions of this country, where there are harbors, good climate, good soil, jobs and an economy, are all but full up.
I personally have zip desire to live on wind swept, frigid plains, where it costs 25 dollars in fuel just to drive to a town.
Where was that taken? Maybe it could be sub-divided into mini-ranches and sold as, “Rolling wooded hills with streams full of fish! Yes, own your piece of the West with a small down payment”.
Worked in Arizona so don’t laugh.
