Western Kansas

Repeat after me: St. Francis, Goodland, Colby, Oakley,Wakeeny, Hays, Russell, Salina.
Wheat fields , grain elevaors, water towers, Catholic Churches, flat, snowy prairies.

In the old days, there wasn't a decent restaurant between the Pepper Pot (Pod?) outside Denver and my uncle's restaurant in Hesston, Kansas. These people grow the wheat that makes our bread. Nonetheless, if you make the drive, pack a lunch. I'm partial to cold fried chicken, home grown tomatoes and Lays potato chips. Maybe a nice brownie.

The Great Plains! Unfold a map. Study. There will be a pop quiz tomorrow. Where is Kanopolis reservoir?
