Kansas road trip

[Trim]

Also, there's a couple Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Wichita, and the KS sports HOF (never been).  The Hotel at Oldtown is a nice place to stay and the Sports Bar at the Oldtown Warren is ridiculous.

Dude, RIVERFEST right now!!!  Jumbo Corn Dogs and American Idol concerts galore!

Last year, Nick Lachey gave a shout-out to KSU hoops during his set.

There is always the world's largest cess pool located in Garden City, KS !

Chupa,

I'll have you know that Garden City is very proud of that cess, I mean swimming, pool !

And no I'm not from there...

I grew up 6 miles from the ball of twine.

Big Brutus is pretty cool to see.  Plenty of others listed here.

Twine is in Cawker.  Glen Elder is 9 miles from Cawker.  I grew up 6 miles west of Cawker in Downs.

I have some cousins that live in Downs. My family boats at Glen Elder Lake.

Saul, I got your roadtrip idea - how about you and the wife hop in the minivan and drive to KatKid's girlfriends house and do her from the back.

I'll be up fishing in Glen Elder in a couple weeks.  Staying in Glen itself.  It pretty much missed out on most of the rains so the lake is still pretty low.  But I can guarantee the wind won't be low.  Lord, it never stops blowing on that lake.  Damn near swamped our boat in the widest part of the lake a few years back. 

[waks]

I just like it because it isn't crowded.

[Marshal Willie]

Can't forget Boothill here in Dodge City lol.

And also Clark County lake.  It doesn't look like it belongs out here.

[ksu_FAN]

Quality fishing at Waconda.  I don't fish there much anymore, its pretty much Milford for me.

Yeah, where else are the elephants supposed to take a bath?

It wouldn't be if it weren't for the red horde that crawls across the northern border.  Go there this time of year and half the trucks at the boat ramp have nubb plates.

I plan vacations based upon food.  So here are the best places to eat.  Mostly Central Kansas

Lawrence:
For lunch go to Quentin's and get a 1/2 soup and sandwich.  Wisconsin cheese is best.
For Dinner go to Bambino's.  All the food is good and on weekends they have $3.50 massive margaritas and some middle aged dude singing Springstein covers.


Great Bend:
Kiowa Kitchen-Mexican

Little River- Fatboys steak house

Hutchinson area -Carriage crossing, those Amish (Menonite/same thing) can cook!

Hudson-Ickies it's a diner but it is the perfect blend of grease and food.

Mostly all I know is from Central Kansas, but There is nothing in Western Kansas.  The easel = eh.  The prairie dog = haha I suckered you out of hard earned cash.

You're better off camping at Kanopolis and going to state parks and nature preserve like quivera or viewing flint hills prairies and just taking in nature then seeing big balls of twine (round hay bails?)

[Dirty Sanchez]

Cozy Inn in Salina   

[jeffy]

Jalisco's in Dodge City.  You should be prepared to order by pointing at a picture or speaking in mjrodese.  If they can't speak English, then the food must be good!

kansas blows.

Actually... Nebraska blows, Oklahoma sucks, and Kansas just steers clear of all the sexual innuendo's.    

[Pike]

Isn't there a Wizard of Oz museum in Wamego or something?

Damn with the wind today Oklahoma must have been blowing hard and Nebraska sucking even harder.

The king of Munchkinland came from Washington, Kansas.

Sadly, I'm a GC native....I'm not sure that "proud" is the right word.  Most people just call it the "bean dip" for obvious reasons.  Avoid Garden at all costs.

[ECN]

my former sister in law is from the GC. i went out there for the first time for the reception.

it was my first time west of topeka.

it felt like i was doing a scene from deliverance.

the whole weekend.

[Oklahoma_Cat]

Try living there for 20 years....it makes living in Oklahoma seem bareable.   

[CatWoman]

On Hwy.56 past Great Bend. Pawnee Rock & Fort Larned Historical site.  I will always love traveling 177, and/or Turnpike from Topeka to Wichita, and staring at the Flint Hills. Beautiful when green.

[ksdb]

Lots of touristy things to do in Abilene, Council Grove or Atchison (although probably not the same weekend since they are pretty far apart).

There's ruins of a Pawnee Indian village west of Belleville that's very interesting and Rock City in nearby Minneapolis. Concordia has a few things.

Cottonwood Falls in the flint hills has the Chase County Courthouse, which is cool. West of Hays is Cedar Bluff Reservoir, which has a cool overlook from the top of the bluffs, although you have to take gravel roads to get there.

Also, Lindsborg is fun for Swedish heritage and nearby is Coronado Heights, and lots to do in Salina too.

I've been to Garden City a few times and the one thing that made that town bearable was the amazing golf cours Buffalo Dunes, i think that's what it is called. I absolutely loved playing that course, it's so well kept, and i think it was rated in the top 50 golf courses in the country...no joke.  The only other thing i remember about GC is that the whole damn town smelled like cow sh*t.  Oh, and does GC really have the largest public pool in the country??
