If possible you might try to come earlier in the spring sometime for the burning - but only if you aren't hampered by any breathing difficulties. It's supposed to be magnificent. In pioneer times the prairie was above the heads of men and if they went to town afoot they felt they should return home home before dark in order to not become lost in the grass.meowmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209824648988317879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885468929827985437.post-9057606937660385722016-06-04T21:22:47.669-05:002016-06-04T21:22:47.669-05:00Great photos in that area but are you sure there a...Great photos in that area but are you sure there aren't any snakes or other such critters lurking in that grass?Wanderin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18099094689836499939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885468929827985437.post-35820313928813012072016-06-04T15:39:56.047-05:002016-06-04T15:39:56.047-05:00Konza looks to be the perfect spot for a (vicariou...Konza looks to be the perfect spot for a (vicarious) hike on National Trails Day.

We just stopped overnight in Wichita to see 2 of our boys who live here before returning home (southeast KS) tomorrow. It would have been great to meet you had we been in the area. We just returned from a 9 day trip to Colorado with our two granddaughters. We traveled out and back two different routes and enjoyed seeing new places in KS ourselves. In 2 weeks they will hold Symphony on the Flint Hills. It's on my bucket list of things to do. Driving through the Flint Hills on Hwy 400 from Beaumont, KS to Wichita is one of my favorite rides.

Karen and I would enjoy a drive out to the country if it's more convenient to meet up near your RV park or in Lawrence. <br /><br />Welcome to the area. I sent you a couple suggestions for a day trip to Kansas City. The World One Museum or Steamboat Arabia are like none other in the country.<br />Mark from Missourihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690142492551842918noreply@blogger.com
