Ahh we all have our blind spots.  I rode through the UP, from Sault Saint 
Marie to the Wisconsin border, in a 1912 Buick Roadster with an average 
drive speed of 35mph.  Except for the sign announcing it, I couldn't tell 
where one forest preserve ended and the other began.  Every 100 miles was 
wide spot in the road with a gas/grocery store.  Granted, I wasn't into 
large format at the time, (a 6 week vacation for three people in a one 
seat car doesn't leave room for LF gear)
but I didn't see anything there that I couldn't see 2 hours out of 
Detroit----lots and lots of pine trees, a bit of fudge but no moose.  
Granted I was in the interior--no coast line.

But on the whole I agree with you. I took a trip out west this year, the 
first in 20+ and I'd forgotten how radically different the terrain was 
from the midwest.
