National Tallgrass Prairie

Just returned from a whirlwind trip to The Flint Hills in KS over the weekend! Beautiful country..but it was very hot..






Pretty bluestem grass.. They say there is only like 7% of this tallgrass prairie left..







Incredible historic ranch now part of The Nature Conservancy.







Imagine seeing this ranch house back in the late 1880's when it was constructed for ~$25,000. The guy brought $100,000 to build up this ranch..







The farm operation was awesome even back in the day.. Pens/stalls below ground, major hay storage upstairs...







Had a great visit with family and enjoyed seeing such beautiful countryside..
