Celebrating Wisconsin's Flatness

So when we moved to NC from MI, the most common comment was, "Michigan, hmmm. It's so... FLAT." Hmmm, what do you say to that? Ah, well, there are some rolling hills? The dunes? The Porcupine Mountains? What's up with your southern hospitality?! But then after a few years, I realized on road trips home to Michigan that it was about 1/2 way through Ohio that I could breathe more freely—I could see the horizon clearly and usually about that time the sun would start to set. Oh, I missed great sunsets—hard to beat when you live on the east side of Lake Michigan. I realized that with the flat came some serious bonuses—silos and farms in the distance, long stretches of road, gorgeous sunrises and sets, space full of mid-westerness. Love it! So the picture below is for all you who think Wisconsin is flat and say it like it's a bad thing—a quick stop on the side of the road while running errands one town over and this is my view. Enjoy!!
