2nd stop
Big Basin Prairie Preserve
On US-283 south of Dodge City, KS
I was flying over the preserve only to find out near the end of the video
that there are buffalo roaming in this area.
I had no clue. BONUS!!

3rd stop
St. Jacob's Well
This location is directly east of the Big Basin Prairie Preserve.
It is reported that this well has had water (if you can call it that) in it since the beginning of recorded time.
It's part of "Little" Basin, which is just east and supposedly has had water in it clear back to ancient history.
I wouldn't drink it!!
• It was 107° while I was here.

4th stop
Gyp Hills Scenic Drive
22 mile drive through the hills, mostly on dirt roads.
Trying to get all the way through before the storm catches up with me.
Turns out, it had spent itself before it got here.
It was 109° while I was here.
