Western Kansas "Smog"

In western Kansas you don't have much of the big city hassles. One of those hassles would be "smog." We don't have smog, but we have our own version. Due to the drought, our highways out here have been closed down more often from blowing dirt and poor visibility than from bad weather such as snow or ice.

Here are some pictures from the drive home.

 Above: You should be able to see the tall hills past this wheat field...but it's too dusty.

 

Above: I know this might not seem like much to some people, but if you are used to the visibility of western Kansas, than you know that you should be able to see farther than this when you are on top of a high hill.

 

This is what our ditch looks like...yes, they are tumbleweeds.

 

Poor guy just wants some grass to roll around in...which there used to be plenty of in this location.
