   1st stop   

Sunrise at Black Mesa, OK

Sunrise  - the first pics are between Black Mesa and Boise City, OK.  

The power pole pics are between Boise City and Guymon, OK.
• 1st "stop" (does it count as a stop if you only pull over on the side of the highway?) of my 3rd day of part 2 of my KS adventure (although these pics are in OK).

   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!!

St Jacobs Well

   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.

Gyp Hills

   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.
