Wonder about what drove the obsessed settlers to cross this vastness. What was worth crossing this immense, seemingly unending sea of grass.

Probably they wanted to see if the area beyond it was better looking. ;o)
I've only been across Kansas once, and I don't remember it at all. We were coming from CO back to MS, Daddy was driving, and I slept the whole way. ;o)

So I guess that good conservatives as well as the MSM are in agreement. Only the description is different.

Conservatives call it “sleep through country” whereas the mediots call it “fly over country” :}
