On the highways, I noticed over passes pretty much every 2 miles. I'm assuming it has something to do with the military. Also, I saw round marks on the grass and some of those areas were raised. Are those where the missile silos are?

Highways today have more to do with commerce than with the military. As times have changed, so have the reasons why we do some of the things we do- even if we are doing the same things as before.
The round marks on the grass were likely not silos but someone's lazy attempt at mowing the lawn.

From what you are talking about it sounds like it may be missiles. We have them spread all across ND. Next time you drive by check and see if there is a fence with a brown sign on it. If it has that then its a silo. Just make sure you dont drive up to the area. It will turn bad....

Uh, no. We don't keep missile silos next to the freaking freeway. They are in heavily guarded facilities in the middle of open fields. Those were probably sewer access holes.
The overpasses are based on road patterns and how much road construction funding any particular state's politicians can milk the federal government for.
There ARE some areas of the country where freeways built in the 50's and 60's have features that were designed with national defense in mind. Most of these are designed to make it difficult for advancing Soviet tanks. However, we don't worry about that any more.

When they built the freeways they cut across farmer's land and divided the property so the farmer couldn't access the land. They should have made an overpass every mile, but too expensive so they compromised. Remember farmequipment only goes about 12 mph.
If the green circles were about half mile in diameter it is because they use a circular irrigation distribution system.

Missile silos would be in secret locations that you couldn't driveby.
And highway overpasses are everywhere it has nothing to do with the military.
I'm not sure what the roundmarks you seen were.. but if i seen one in person i could probably tell you.

I noticed the same things on the trip from Vegas to Carson City, around Walker Lake. I assumed them to be some type of Army thing!

If there were no fences, they probably weren't silos. But without seeing what you saw I couldn't be sure.
US Air Force retired.

She likes u more than u like her, and that means u CANNOT marry this girl. Her life revolves around urs, do u want a woman like that. Tell her ur not ready to take such a big step, and that u cant marry her right now, but u can remain close( if u want to ). Whats her rush. When its right its right, and if u have to ask u know this is wrong. Ur friends dont have to be the ones married to her, so tell them to speak for themselve, this is ur life, and u will be the one suffering the consequences in the future.

The overpasses are for the county and state roads. The circles are probably something like wheat fields with centralized irrigation systems,
