As someone who regularly delivers to rural areas in Wyoming:

MARK YOUR GODDAMN HOUSE NUMBER

I have made 2+ hour trips from South Dakota just to have to turn around because I had no cell service and could not figure out which out of a 10 mile stretch of ranches was the right place.

Not OP, but I live in Indian country. A large number of reservations have hotel/casinos and advertise heavily and would love you to visit. From there you can explore the culture through museums and shows.\

But I wouldn't recommend just driving through a reservation town without a casino/hotel. Some tribes are doing better than others, but especially the Plains tribes (Sioux, Crow, Omaha, Cherokee), their reservations have some of the highest rates of poverty in the country and the social problems that go with extreme poverty.

Pretty sure that story is more common than an extremely religious conservative staying that way.

How do you feel about the non-native locals you grew up with versus the rural ones you've met? I'm a non-native from South Dakota, and I found it pretty accurate when Mary Crow Dog wrote "White kids in South Dakota are born racist." I wasn't taught it by my parents, but white people in South Dakota make rez jokes and insult natives (especially the accent) all the time like it's 1950s Alabama. It just grows into you, and unless you're taught otherwise, it stays with you.

How do you feel about the MegaBots/Kuratas Giant Robot Duel? Did it meet your expectations or were you disappointed in its blandness?
