Born in the pre-Civil War era, Kansas earned the name "Bloody Kansas" as pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups fought over the territory to figure out if it would be admitted into the Union as a free or slave state. It became the 34th state in January of 1861.
Flat as paper in the western two-thirds of the state and hilly and forested in the east, Kansas resides in the southern section of the Great Plains region of the middle United States. Home to about 2.6 million people, "The Sunflower State" ranked 33rd in population, but is 15th in area out of all states (82,277 square miles; 213,096 km). While you might not expect it, Kansas has some interesting topographic traits. Most notably, the Flint Hills. This system cuts through central Kansas and is nothing more than rolling hills with short grasses. But it's beautiful in its own way, providing never-ending views and countless head of cattle. While it's in the heart of "Red Flyover Country," Kansas is worth a trip so you can see what North America looked like 150 years ago. __________

Things were pretty much on schedule until our stop at the Stuckeys in Ellsworth, KS. We stopped for gas, bathroom, and snacks. We got back on the road and 15 minutes later Jessi asks me if my cell phone has service. She can’t find her’s and wants me to call it. We do and we don’t here anything. I utter a cuss word. There are not exits every mile in the middle of Kansas, so it is 5 minutes before we reach the next one and can turn around. We drive back to Ells...

Liz wansn't feeling well this morning so I let her sleep a little longer. We decided to devote this day to driving again. From Kansas City to Denver is 600 something odd miles. I gave the car a mini check-up while Liz got ready and then we took off. Kansas is really flat, but I think its the most beautiful state that we've been through so far; plains as far as you can see and big sky. The cows must be really happy out there. Interstate 70 is so much faster,...

Have you ever attended a professional outdoor symphony? How about one located in the gorgeous Flint Hills of Kansas? No? I didn't think so! This day marked an amazing combination of history, food, trail rides, and showcased the natural beauty of the land. I, along with a colleague, created an exhibit for the county museum. It was a MAJOR piece of work and around 6,000 people had the opportunity to view it. The exhibit was the final step of a class (a ...
