Strike the "yucky"!!! I've only visiting your area once and I was struck by the wheat-colored hills with the lone oaks sprinkled around. I guess I was thinking about the dryness around my sister's place in Texas, which can be a bit grim sometimes (although beautiful in it's own way - don't want to rile you Texas girls!) Each area has it's own beauty and aren't we lucky to be going slow enough on our rides to actually enjoy it!!
