THE flattest country I have ever seen is southern Saskatchewan. We go fishing in La Ronge every other year or so from Denver. Its flat in North Dakota to be sure. But you get to the portage & cross into Canada & you can put your vehicle on cruise control, tie the steering wheel with bungies, & take a nap. A LONG nap. You can see the highway stretch on for miles & miles in front of you without so much as a slight bend. I love going up there, the country is beautiful, but that first 6 hours going North is something that has to be experienced to believe.

Eisenhower saw the Autobahn and knew we had to get some of that. Before that driving could an adventure in the US, especially out west.

Eisenhower drove cross country with a US military unit pre-war, don't recall how long it took the unit to make it, but it was too long. He knew then that something had to be done.

Nah, you're all wrong. The flattest place is Oklahoma. When I go to OKC I can stand on my beer cans and look north and see Kansas, south and see Texas, east and see Arkansas!!! [:D]
