The route from St. Louis to Madison. Been making the drive many, many times since the 80s. This was a great way to add something interesting in an otherwise pretty boring drive. Glad to see the farmers getting more use of the land.

The first couple of times I drove by them, it was rather mesmerizing. I am used to them now. There seem to be more and more of them each time i go up there.
