Last time I drove across Kansas, I listened to Pandora the whole time. And it's always best to drive through Kansas over the night, because there's nothing to look at anyway, so it might as well be dark. It's somehow less depressing.
I'll admit, I do sometimes miss how endless the sky can be with no hills, or trees. The Flint Hills area is actually pretty too. And some of the patches of rolling hills where some of the last tallgrass prairie in the world can be found are something you really can't even capture in a photo. The way the grasses sway in the unbroken wind like waves on the sea...
Bem Meissner Ummm... actually it's those "Amber Waves of Grain" we have to thank for only a small patch of Kansas still having a tallgrass prairie. It used to blanket the entire midwest, sustaining vast herds of buffalo. Now it's maybe a 100 or so square mile patch of ground south of Manhattan (Kansas, not NY).
I'm straight north of there and just a touch to the West in Iowa, on the Ave of the Saints. I can actually see the Ave. from the office, where I work. Have a merry Christmas Jason ON (or happy holidays if you prefer)
NO. If you haven't noticed, those animals by the side of the road for the past several hundred miles are cows, not pigs.
Beef is what the midwest BBQs best. In the Kansas and Missouri areas, the specialties are burnt ends, baby back ribs, and brisket (though Texas is the real brisket specialist).

Of the two of them, we now know which one Vlad "the Mad" Putin believes is the girl in their relationship. For a "macho macho man" like #DonaldTrump that's going to hurt. #TrumpNation http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/05/vladmir-putin-donald-trump/

What's left is beautiful though, and well worth a visit. http://www.nps.gov/tapr/index.htm

And yeah, TEXAS does brisket best.
