This is one of our favorite places, too. I (Tami) grew up about 100 miles northwest of there, so these pics look like home to me. We are shooting for retirement in this area, so hopefully it will be home again someday. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Yes, I agree with all the above comments! There is a kind of deep, special love I have for the “grasslands” of Missouri & Kansas, and the dry green-golden grass, wide-open blue skies with a hint of humidity in the air… it simply takes me away somewhere wonderful! Thank you! Only 4% is a true crime. Power to the grasses (not the mowing kind)!

I am personally just thrilled to see a picture of something so pretty and that is not WET. The rain has just overwhelmed me. I miss Kansas and Missouri. I loved those grases…kinda remindes me of Little House on the Prarie.

I’ve been spending some time in Kansas this week while reading In Cold Blood. This looks like a happier place! I love that they are reintroducing the bison.

We are trading spots today for our “visit someday” lists! We found interesting things about Kansas, but somehow missed visiting this preserve. I love the pictures.

This place looks wonderful. I love the prairie. Although I didn’t as a child growing up in Minnesota.

I have lived in Kansas nearly 20 years and I am ashamed to say that I have never visited this lovely landmark. I will definitely have to put it on the list of summer weekend trip getaways.
