I’ve driven across Kansas twice on I-70 both ways East-West. I fell asleep at the wheel in Kansas City and woke up in Denver..............
The prarie is on I 70.
Next time, turn off the interstate and drive a mile or so, part on a dirt road, to the access area. Take a walk out on those prarie hills and marvel at the number of different plants. Take in the flowers growing amidst the grass.
Wonder about what drove the obsessed settlers to cross this vastness. What was worth crossing this immense, seemingly unending sea of grass.
Check out how the farmers have adapted their living quarters to the land and seem to thrive in the midst of mile after mile of land.
Drove across Kansas in a Continential Trailways with a clogged fuel filter. Three miles an hour. Hmmph!
