Pioneer Solitude
Last Saturday, I visited Pioneer Bluffs where this log cabin was home to a family when Kansas was still a territory. Imagine the solitude this family experienced.

The Flint Hills Today
The building are modern, but it is still several miles to civilization.

The vast solitude of the Flint Hills is evident in the views from hilltops as in this photo taken at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.

If something less vast is more to your liking, you may take a walk in the woods,

or go wading in a stream. You might catch a crawdad or two and use them for bait in deeper water. (See more water scenes in previous blog entries.)

I hope you have enjoyed this brief tour of the solitude possibilities of the Kansas Flint Hills.
Fabulous, I would love to live somewhere like that it looks so peaceful, the little log cabin is in a great setting, I can hear the birds singing in the trees, so much space.
Makes me want to visit Kansas. Thank you for a lovely post.
I’m glad you like these views of Kansas. My state is often under-appreciated when it comes to natural beauty, and I wanted to show it off.
