We saw this at a rest area in western Nebraska.
The scene behind the rest area.Beautiful!
On our recent travels to the west, we loved the state of Nebraska driving on I-80 across the state. Rest areas are placed about every 40 to 50 miles - they were clean, neat, and all that we stopped at were in working order.
The plaque above describes the great plains - they extend from central Nebraska to the Rocky Mountains. This is a semi-arid region with short grass prairies. Traditionally used for ranching and farming, the region also provides minerals, coal, and oil.
The scene behind this rest area was so beautiful that we were awestruck. We stood silently gazing at the beautiful pastoral setting. What a wonderful and beautiful land!

Thanks for the geography lesson! Now we know where the line "amber waves of grain" comes from.
