RE: Backroads Drive: Good Thunder Area (Original Photography)
One thing I really enjoyed about your part of the country was straight lines. You can find straight roads that go on and on like in the first photo. And in fields of crops, straight lines. Here in the mountains you don't have that. There's always a curve forcing things to be all over the place or hidden from view.
This area gets a bit of both. The plains are so incredibly flat, but the rivers that cut through create bluffs. The city of Mankato has some really twisty streets and hills everywhere but, right up the road, there are little towns laid out in perfect grids.
I actually miss the cities and towns of southern Spain a lot, for having crazy twists and odd angles. The villages that are based on medieval city plans are nuts to try and figure your way around, until you know the place well. Three right turns do not equal a left! :-)
