Some weekend when we have more time, I'd love to go back out and make this drive again, especially since we drive through the very small town of Alma, which has it's own creamery and makes cheese that's sold by a lot of the local markets. And fantastic cheese it is! We ended up working our way back to I-70 and coming home that way but all in all, we were gone for about 4 hours. Just a perfect way to spend a perfect day. It was sunny with only puffy white clouds and low humidity. We both came home grinning. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "We drove through several of the small towns that are south and west of us and ended up on a scenic drive that showcases natural stone. It was fantastic. Not only were there several houses made out of native Limestone but there were miles and miles of stacked stone fences. It's amazing how someone can fit those rocks together and 100 years later, those fences are still standing. At one high point on the highway, we were able to see for miles and miles of rolling Kansas Flint Hills. The scenery was spectacular (check out the current National Geographic for a special story on the Flint Hills!)" on 9:18:50 am, Mon, 06/04/07

Sounds wonderful Sandy..sometimes those kind of trips...the one that aren't really planned are the best!!!
BTW how is everyone feeling at your house? Are you done with the treatments yet? (NT) -- Kate, 7:56:14 pm, Mon, 06/04/07
Sounds so wonderful Sandy. Glad you enjoyed your little road trip. I've been wanting to drive up the coast and finally decided I'd like to visit Solvang. I've never been there. Googled a map for it. Its about 132 miles away which should take about 2 1/2 hours to get there according to the map. Son and I are planning to go there tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Just hope the kitties behave themselves. They've been a little pissy today. (NT) -- ~love and hugs~ Raylene =^..^=, 7:32:42 am, Tue, 06/05/07
