Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Welcome back to Kansas! After visiting Mount Sunflower out in Wallace County Kansas, we stopped in for a visit at the Fort Wallace Museum. We have been to a rather large number small regional museums but this one takes the cake. We spent so longer wondering the galleries and the staff were great and answered
To visit the highest point in the state of Oklahoma, Black Mesa Summit, we hiked 9 miles round trip. To visit the highest point in the state of Kansas, we drove right up to it. I will admit, it was a nice change. That being said, Mount Sunflower is in the middle of nowhere Wallace
