I can say just about every mile was a joy to see. Only exception was stubble wheat fields in east central WA. I didn't actually ride it. LOL. I had a leaky rear tire and my pump was dying too. A lady in a delivery truck stopped and offered a ride, that was about 30 miles in high heat avoided.

After watching a Trans-Am video of one guy, I can safely say I have ZERO inclination to do the same. The barren plains and corn fields for 1000 miles, nah. And somehow he had to wear a bug hat for days and days. LOL. I had ZERO bugs on either trips, Vietnam/ China then NW Can/Am.
I don't camp, so I have no want of avoiding big cities.
