The picture of the “highway” brings up one point about travel in places like South Dakota.

You get off the interstate (and sometimes even if you stay on the thing) you very quickly become acquainted with the sometimes substandard condition of roads in low-population areas.

Combine that with the number of turns in the road going through mountainous (but scenic) areas and you are going to have to reduce cruise speed.

Finally, EV owners best do careful planning up here. Gas stations can be spaced 100 miles apart but those charging stations for EVs.....well, let’s just say they are plumb scanty beyond where the sidewalks end.
