Somewhere along this drive in the dead center of the country, encircled by cozy protective mountains along the edge of a big valley, and even beyond these mountains there stretches America in all directions, it struck me how isolated everything here is. I pictured what it must be like to be born here, grow up here, how easy to ignore that anything in the world exists beyond the land, the soil, the pickup trucks and SUVs.
