Steinbeck continues his journey through the midwest. He meets a couple more people who are minor and unimportant characters. Not too much happened plot-wise. Steinbeck likes the midwest and thinks the people there are some of the most genuine in the country. I have to agree with that.
I love his description of the Badlands and how he feels the oppression of the landscape -- which is how I remember reacting to the Badlands. There's something eerie about those stark, weathered rock formations and the moaning wind whipping through them...
