Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Good afternoon followers! I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday. I know that I did and immensely enjoyed a couple extra days off from work. The holiday kept me busy cooking and cleaning along with just spending time with family and as such I had a bit of an unintentional hiatus. I am
Recently I went to Canton’s First Monday Trade Days with a couple of friends that were in town. Now I have never been to trade days but was excited to go even though I was not sure what to expect. I should have expected the chaos; I’ve been to plenty of festivals and I know

I absolutely loved visiting Kansas with Keltin. We got to explore some really neat places within a couple hours drive and I got the chance to explore the town of Johnson itself more than I had in past trips.

A morning trip out to Two Buttes is the last side trip that we took from Kansas. Two Buttes is weird because if you Google it you will get the name of a small town but there is also a small mountain in the area that sits on the open plain with only flat land
On our recent trip to Kansas and on our various little day trips we did a lot of driving. More driving than I would have been comfortable with at one time. That has slowly changed over time but I’m still not the biggest fan. One of the things that makes long drives enjoyable is the
