The "bald headed prairies" it was called, that stretched from central Alberta, Saskatchewan and down into central USA to Oklahoma and parts of Texas. A remnant from the last ice age.<BR/><BR/>Monnik: Welcome. You can enjoy that wide open space in any of those corn fields. With all those plants cleaning the air quality it would be akin to bliss.

The silence might bother some, as there is no continual traffic down gravel country roads, or airplanes passing overhead. Only the sounds of birds, crickets, bees, the whisper of the wind through the branches of bushes or the leaves of tall Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-31172766460042553462008-06-08T23:47:00.000-04:002008-06-08T23:47:00.000-04:00Hi Barbara.

I am glad that you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>I will reply to the comment, but also put up a link to your blog on the main post.

I became asthmatic after three years of living here, and I'd like to be able to breathe relatively clean air again in the wide open spaces. The key here being "wide open spaces" which translates into less populated density.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-14749301321139179952008-06-06T21:16:00.000-04:002008-06-06T21:16:00.000-04:00Nice pics.
