I like the Midwest's beauty hidden. I like being able to go to the beach and not having it crowded or hiking in the UP and not seeing another soul for miles. I like biking in the driftless region and getting some big hills. Even in Kansas I like getting BBQ and a big fat steak. I'd rather keep these things secert so we aren't bombarded by annoying tourists.

Driving through OH and IN through Columbus and Indy leaves a lot to be desired. Granted this was all highway drive but flat and boring (contrast to WV and parts of PA). And I guess that's where the midwest gets it's reputation because the interstate drives are generally very stale.
As Betty Draper once said, only boring people are bored.
It's impossible to drive the width or length of Ohio in any direction and have it be "flat and boring", because there are plenty of hills in the south and east. The flattest cross-state interstate drive is I-90, most of which is in or near the lake plain, and driving through Cleveland is far from boring anyway.

I'll admit that I didn't know there were nice beaches there until I was in my twenties.

We drove on I-70 and eastern part bordering WV was hilly I guess but near Columbus and through Indy was plain and flat as I recall.
Yes, that most of the interstate drive through this area is flat and plain
Uh, no. But thanks for playing!
