In August I decided to travel to all 105 counties in Kansas and take a picture of my LT in front of each courthouse. Kansas is 411 miles from east to west and 208 miles north to south. I broke it down into 4 trips and stayed in a motel 5 nights with the longest trip being 2,177 miles and 60 counties. Visiting all the counties was a total of 4,080 miles. Even though I have spent my life in Kansas I learned a great deal by traveling secondary, and even gravel roads, and actually going into the towns to find and photograph the courthouse. So if you are looking for a way to learn more about your state you might give it a try. For more information about my trips visit my blog at:

Kansas always grabs my attention. My parents moved to Calif in the late 40's and i am the only one of my family born in Calif. My dad was born in Dodge City and my mom born out on the Salina river and grew up in Plainville. Most of her side still lives in Plainville or Hays. As a little kid I looked forward to the 2 weeks we would spend in Kansas each summer. Thanks for the pic's.
