Excerpt from the HCN Q&A with Rebecca:
HCN: Lots of folks dismiss South Dakota as flyover country. Why does its landscape hold such a draw for you? And why is it important to share that with others?
Norris Webb: I’m thankful many people think of South Dakota as a flyover state!
Last year, when I drove north from Denver to the Black Hills, I was startled by how congested the I-25 corridor had become in just the past few years. It was a relief to hit the Wyoming landscape, with its rich, familiar emptiness.
It’s hard to explain, but I don’t feel like myself unless I’m in the badlands, prairies, Black Hills or Missouri River valley of my home state.
