Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are the interesting parts of the Midwest (and Minnesota and Wisconsin). Once you leave the Great Lakes Midwest for the Great Plains Midwest you’re gonna be bored out of your mind until you hit the Rockies. Iowa is so boring its tourist traps are trucker themed.
I did the drive from Ohio to the PNW a year ago and yeah, it’s bad when you’re missing Ohio and can’t wait for Wyoming… Minnesota rocked though, absolutely awesome rest stops, we were glad to take a detour there to shave some time off South Dakota.

The western part of South Dakota is rather beautiful country, but basically anything east from the Badlands national park is rubbish.
