We just had a cold front roar thru. Instead of the 90’s tomorrow we will be in the upper 70’s and mid 50’s. The dust is from the wheat field across the road. I took this photo just as the storm was coming in. I had to go inside as I couldn’t see!! I can’t imagine what the Dust Bowl during the 30’s was like. We did receive 2″ of rain!
I hope this is a sign of an early fall.
Butler County, KS is the largest county in the State. It sits on the western edge of the Flint Hills. Here is a link to different tours for the area. Please call ahead, as some of the restaurants have closed.
These bridges are best photographed from down below. I always have jeans and boots on, but there were a few places I didn’t want to go thru as there was a lot of poison ivy! Thankfully I didn’t see any snakes! Wylie was in his “pouch” for most of these photos!
Bridge #1
Double Arch Built in 1912 Arches 20′ and 30′
Bridge #2
Built 1897 25′ Arch
This one is my favorite! I could have stayed here all day, beautiful rock ledge.
Bridge #3
Built in 1900 37′ Arch
Nice reflection of clouds in the water
Bridge #4
Built in 1899 36′ Arch
Bridge #5
Built 1899 36′ Arch (I don’t think this one is going to last much longer)
Just down the road from Bridge #5 was this old school.
Lily Lake School 1885-1966 (strange place for a cow!)
Looking forward to continuing this tour of Bridges of Butler County!
