In contrast to the smooth plains of Indiana and Illinois, countless dry river beds run through the flat, open prairies of Nebraska. This makes for a varied landscape, with trees and bushes growing in the flats, often serving as hiding places for the buildings of a ranch. 
I took the Earth at exactly 40° latitude, but I was not able to reach the intended site which was situated about half a mile away, fenced in by barbed wire with no visible path leading up to it.
