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.
