Today was a drive from Wichita, Kansas; through the Oklahoma Panhandle; to Dalhart, Texas. Rather uneventful for 400 miles. One dead Amaradillo, lots of dragonflys, sage, sorghum, and about 20 large wind turbines and grain elevators. Traveling through Greensburg, Kansas; it looked like they may have been leveled by a tornado several years back. With no real pictures today we want to regress to Tall Grass NP for a bit. The stone barn and house built in the 1880s was quite unique for anywhere but especially the Flint Hills area of Kansas. The stone chicken coup with sod roof, and a three holer outhouse with cross ventilation windows was also unique. The prairie also suprised us with a bevy of quail which we spooked during a short hike, a prairie chicken, and also night hawks which are rather tern shaped and fly very fast.
