I've made the I-90 trip from Ohio to Washington state and back on several 
occasions, and I had no idea how beautiful South Dakota could be (I'd always 
figured all the lovely scenery in Dances With Wolves had to have been a fake 
<g>) until I made a three-month cross-country trip nine years ago and 
avoided the interstates as much as I could.  If you get off the interstate, 
South Dakota is gorgeous.  I can personally vouch for the state highway 
34/US highway 14 route that roughly divides the state in half from east to 
west.  It was like driving down the spine of some great sleeping grassy 
animal.  I kept expecting it to rise up and throw me off.  The Missouri 
River bluffs were spectacular, too.
