The area around Kingman, AZ even on I-40 is really pretty.
Every state has pretty parts and some ugly parts. This is one of the many ugly parts of California.
This is Lost Hills, CA. I guess if you own one of the oil wells that is pretty.
Of course Oklahoma has oil wells everywhere. There is a shopping center not far from me that has a oil pump-jack in the parking lot. Like a cattle feed lot, not pretty, but necessary.
I was planning on driving most of Seahawk's route this summer, but the shutdowns killed that plan.
