LITTLE DRIVE ON THE PRAIRIE

Since the last day of January was beautiful here and Big Bore had the day off work, we decided to take off across the prairie and drive up to Council Grove to see my old friend Norma, the Hippie Goddess, and to purchase some wares at her shop.

The first three pictures were taken about 20-25 miles northwest of Eureka at an area called Teterville, an abandoned oilfield community of years gone by.

The only other living beings we encountered in the Flint Hills were these cattle and the geese and ducks below that were testing the icy waters at a lake in Chase County.

The frigid winter water is for the birds, in more ways than one. Onward to February.....
