Well then, I'll offer up a nugget that you could now or save for later: Heading (for me at least 
) to North Platte Nebraska. Head south anywhere between Murdo & Mitchell, getting lost but basically heading south and west. I typically make it through Valentine.
South of Valentine is the Valentine National Wildlife Refuge (and great grasslands. From Mitchell to roughly Murdo one has to cross the Niobrara River in Nebraska and the roads leading into and out of the valley are really nice.
For you, instead of going as far south as North Platte, there are cool country roads to take east and hit Iowa - Iowa is not a bad place to wander through. Ames in particular I enjoyed about 30 years ago.
