As I pulled into the large bare dirt parking area of the "overlook", I remarked to myself as I saw her standing a short distance from her car looking out over the tri-state vista and then turning to me as she heard me pull up, what a enchanting creature this young woman truly was.
Daylight can usually uncover a lot of facial "camouflage", but this gal didn't really need any of that. She was incredibly beautiful. What make-up she wore only added highlights to what features she already had, and hers was about as good as it got.
It was a pretty, sunny, early spring day. It was still cold outside, but aside from a bit of patch ice in the shaded areas coming up the hill, most of the roadway was clear of snow and in relatively good condition, as was the Overlook parking area.
As I pulled up a short distance from Jenni's car, it was funny how I mentally thought how the DeVille she drove seemed to be much too big a car for such a small woman.
Also, I mentally flashed on why this location was such a popular place for young and old lovers alike to come and spoon away. From here, the whole southern sky was visible as it progressed on and around unbroken to eventually join up with the western heavens.
Laid out below and beyond was a panorama of low-lying forested and farmed lands of three states: Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska. Below, tucked in tight against the foothills, were a few houses of the very edge of North Sioux, about a mile or so away as the crow flies.
In the evening, the stars and celestial bodies would come out and all the lights of the sparsely populated flat lands visible would twinkle their silent entertainment.
To the rear of the overlook, was a thick and verdant deciduous forest, now in winter mode, barren of leaves.
The remote location was one that had to be a "destination" as the road here was not a common route, and in addition, was a poor one. It could be confusing to someone who did not know the way. It was a perfect "lovers lane".
