Cottonwood Falls

We stayed at Cottonwood Falls, KS, Thursday nite in preparation for our visit to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Strong City, KS.  I was inspired to visit this wonderful part of the National Park Service after our book group read “The Worst Hard Times” by Timothy Egan.

Kansas did not disappoint - it was wonderful.  Here are a few pictures

For those of you who are interested, a few statistics– we have traveled thru RI, Ct, NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, MO, KS, OK.  Now we are in OK – just passing thru.  Tomorrow we will be in Santa Fe, NM – passing thru TX.

We have eaten our way across the US using Jane and Michael’s “RoadFoood” – Henry’s, Goody- Goody Diner, and Kumback Lunch – all memorable!

  1. I'm glad you enjoyed Kansas! Is that a lizard? Do you have a little tripod you can use to take (and post) pictures of both of you?

  2. yes to both - some kind of lizard name I can't remember. I have a little tripod and my walking stick that can take a camera mount - just haven't had a chance to take a picture of both of us yet - but will do
