Kansas, The Sunflower State.


State Motto -  " Ad astra per aspera." 
(To the stars through difficulties.)

Kansas was admitted to the Union, as the 34th state, on January 29, 1861

Throughout 2011, Kansas will host a full slate of sesquicentennial events.

First stop Atchison. The birthplace of Amelia Earhart and the most haunted town in Kansas!  Going solo and facing down ghosts. So there!


I’ll be heading westbound on part of the the Santa Fe trail, to Dodge City where I plan to set a spell. A city with two pools! 

I’m sure to zig and zag along the way looking at the painted barns celebrateilng 150 years of Kansas  statehood. 







By the way, 
The Geographical Center of the United States is located about two miles northwest of Lebanon in Kansas!
