Visit Chautauqua County, in the Flint Hills of Kanas

Consider a visit to Chautauqua County, the very south end of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Highway 99 runs straight south (a few little westward jogs) into Oklahoma, right through Chautauqua County, the home of our Ben Allen (http://www.emporia.edu/business/baeprojects.php - scroll down a bit to see Ben Allen). U.S. 166 runs east and west through the county. Sedan is the county seat, on 99, and home of Bill Kurtis and the Red Buffalo Ranch (just north of town a couple of miles, west of K 99), and many improvements in the town main street - art galleries and other stores, both sides. He has invested a lot of money and effort into agritourism in the area (see: http://pepperbay.com/sedan/, among other sites - put Bill Kurtis Kansas in Google and get a bunch)

Dr. Bill ;-)
