But it certainly is for me.

This isn't a tourist trap or even a park. It's just a large expanse of natural prairie land. And that's why I am attracted to it.

The day I stopped here, there was peace. I was able to sit and eat a small lunch beside some flowing water and just listen to the wind in the trees. The county road behind me never had a single car...
