East of the metro area are The Great Plains. The center of the United States, it is open, quiet, and haunting. During the 1930's this house, among millions of others, were where people lived and worked. Economic hardship, drought, and isolation were why many left for the cities.
Today, this house is 20 miles from the nearest town, 40 miles from the nearest gas station. Standing here, wind whistling in your ears you feel cold, lonely, disconnected.
Every time I visit this place, I find myself to appreciate it more and more.
