The (Wild Wild) West - Under Construction

 

The Western half of the United States is HUGE... Much more enormous than most people realize, until they decide to take the great cross-country road trip!

 

While the West is generally spacious and fairly sparsely populated in most areas, there is a wide variety among the states.
