I have been told of the vast space that can be seen on such trips, and one of my long-term plans is driving Route 66. (I'm also a bit interested in driving the Lincoln Highway, which manages even more opportunities for stopping and seeing how many weird little corners of the continent there are.) But I think my instincts are very strongly set by life; the most rural place I've ever lived is Troy, New York, and I only rarely got outside the Capital District complex there, so even its existence as an island of city life in an ocean of deserted farmland didn't affect me much.
