To people who haven't been to the western United States, such high
speed limits may seem excessive. But there are many areas in the
western U.S. where there is no vegetation larger than grass, where
the terrain is totally flat, the road is absolutely straight, the
nearest hills, buildings, vehicles, or people are clearly visible and
up to 20 or even 60 miles away. You might only meet another vehicle
every half hour or more. In such conditions, there is absolutely
nothing to run into, even if you wanted. Some of the flattest places
on Earth, as well as many very mountainous areas, are in the western U.S.

Yep, but not far away (in U.S. distance terms) exist the largest living things on the planet. Giant redwoods and sequoia trees
stretch upwards 100 meters and are 10-12 meters in diameter at the base. Some were old when Christ was born.

The redwood forests in northern California and Oregon are my favorite
place to visit in the U.S., and my second favorite place is Niagara Falls.
Both are truly awesome.
