Yesterday afternoon we explored the Flint Hills of the Konza Prairie.
Jordan and Audra (and Collin) came with us to
the Flint Hills, and I don't think any of us knew what we were getting into! It is acres of gorgeous land. The
dry, yellow, grass is burned each year to make way for the fresh, lush, green, grasses. They were burning
the grass yesterday and we could smell the smoke and see the haze. We decided to
do a little exploring- none of us we prepared for the 2 1/2 mile---- MILE! hike
we were about to take...in the exposed sun, in bad shoes, up hills, narrow
paths, rocky walkways.
Somehow we all managed it will little complaints (and no blisters). It was
worth it as the views were spectacular.
