Welcome to Legends of "Ahs!"
While some may say that
Kansas is
"flat as a pancake," and maybe some parts of it are, it's also just
"flat great!"
Interestingly,
Kansas
has six designated scenic byways, three of them named for the hills in
which they are located: Flint Hills,
Glacial
Hills and Gypsum Hills.
To truly see and appreciate the state, one must venture off of I-70 and
meander down a few back roads where they might see some interesting
geographical features in places called Castle Rock and Twin Butte in
Western
Kansas. Or, in northeast
Kansas,
one can almost taste the adventure in old riverfront cities such as
Atchison and
White Cloud.
"Bleeding
Kansas," as the state was once referred to, is rich in
history, with such characters as the lawless John Brown during the Civil
War; Lawman and sometimes outlaw,
Wyatt Earp
in Dodge
City; and the
Dalton Gang
who wrecked havoc on the state and were finally shot and killed in
Coffeeville.
This is a just a little of what the state has to offer. You will
also find great people in the State of
Kansas!
Enjoy your travels in
Kansas
and welcome to the Legends Of "Ahs!"

P.S. I can say
Kansas is
flat (at least in some places), because I live here.
