Not Another Fly Over State

Kansas...the state that connects East to West, North to South and if you ask me, should not be overlooked by the overlookers. I have lived in this state my entire life, living in 7 different cities or towns and experiencing places some of you probably don't even know exist. I grew up on a gravel road and my home was surrounded by cornfields, railroad tracks, fireflies, and nighttime silence.

This post is for those who may want to venture out of the city to a small town where you may be labeled as the outsider or for those who may want to venture out of the country into the city where you become someone who "looks like you are from the country"...I have played both roles so I know all about that. But guess what, no matter where I go the people are friendly, I can usually find a really good place to eat...necessity, and when I leave to go home, I have usually learned something new and have meet some really awesome people.

Besides that, even though Kansas isn't surrounded by the ocean or the mountains, it is a beautiful place...I'll show you.

A little bit of country...because gravel roads lead to home.
