On a road-trip to pick up most excellent beef jerky at First Choice Meats in Herrington, we accidently found a delightful somewhat new cafe, The Mansion, 22 East Main, 785-258-3939
They have the BEST chicken-fry I've had in ages!!!! Done the Explorer way of course, it came with a heaping pile of good chunky mashed potatoes and smoothered in real home-made gravy. EVERYTHING is from scratch like grandma made. I couldn't make a happy plate as there was sooo much food. Rod had the last lunch speci

I spent my birthday on a day trip through Ellsworth and on to Lincoln. My wife and I happened upon a wonderful woman named Marilyn at Village Lines the Little Kansas Store and purchased items from her. She insisted that we go to the historic museum and we were pleasantly surprised with a guided tour that helped fill in any blanks we may have missed. Our guide was very informative and professional. We were then off to the Hungry Hunter cafe, what a treat. After a little more shopping we headed do

We visited several towns in SE Kansas. Eisler Brothers General Store in Riverton is one of the most charming stops on Route 66 (or any other highway). They serve delicious sandwiches and the porch is a great place to sit, enjoy the day and visit with tourists from all over the world. We also spent some time in Parsons and highly recommend any hot chai or coffee drinks at Downtown Java, which is located at the corner of 18th and Main. The architecture and interesting shops make downtown Parso

We enjoyed staying at the new Best Westrn El-Quartelejo Inn & Suites in Scott City during Labor Day weekend. The staff is great, the breakfast is wonderful and everything is new! The pool, guest laundry and computer room are added benefits.

My wife's family recently gathered in Sharon Springs to celebrate her parents' (Fred & Edith Staker) 70th wedding anniversary. A highlight was a catered meal at the Clark - Robidoux mansion in nearby Wallace. Among the more unusual items of fare were pinto bean bread and beet jelly. The interior has been beautifully restored, and work begins on the exterior this fall, we were told.

My volkswalk friend and I are on a quest to see all the courthouses in Kansas. Along the way we try to stop and see all the attractions. One that I hadn't heard about was the Arikaree Breaks, North of St. Francis, in Cheyenne County. They are on private property but there are good gravel roads through them. You drop out of wheat fields into beautiful valleys with rock outcropping. Take it slow and enjoy the beauty. Then when you come back to the wheat fields, you look behind and can't see

When you visit Council Grove, be sure to stop at the Trail Days Cafe & Bakery. All the food is great, but the rhubarb pie is the best I\'ve ever eaten!

We took our family and spent a weekend at Victory Farm in Wamego, KS. The hospitality was warm and wonderful, the accomodations were very comfortable-just like home- and the hosts really made us feel welcome. It is still under some development, but well worth it.

Susan and I took in Yoder and ate a great meal at the CarriageCrossing Restaurant with explorers Jim & Margaret Moore and guests. On the way home to Dodge we stopped in Zenda for a good steak meal at the Lumberyard. That made county number 51 in my steak quest.
