Afternoon fellers.

On my way out to CO I declined the opportunity, although it was near-by, to see the highest point in Kansas. Perhaps I should have. Why I bet that sucker must be 100' tall!

Well amazingly enough after a quick search I have discovered that there is actually a hill in Kansas, it's just that it's the whole damn state


http://www.kansastravel.org/mountsunflower.htm


At 4,039 feet above sea level, Mount Sunflower is the highest point in Kansas. It is located at the far west side of Kansas on the Harold Family Ranch in Wallace County. Mount Sunflower is 3,360 feet above the state's lowest point near Coffeyville, Kansas. Some people would describe Mount Sunflower as a barely noticeable rise in the middle of a field on a ranch 1/2 mile from the Colorado border, but they would lack vision.

Men and measurements....and we wonder why our wives don't believe us when we tell 'em it's 8 inches.

I figure the high point of Kansas is either the Colorado or Missouri borders on the way out.

I think that hill was installed by the American Recovery & reinvestment Act of 2009
