Home of Ft Riley and Willie the Wildcat...Manhattan. So many people think KS is flat as a pancake, and it's true for parts of the state west of us . But we had the Flint Hills, including a place called the Top of the World where you could watch storms rolling in from like 40 or 50 miles away. I used to drive up there and watch 'em approach (had an old, semi-beat up Honda at the time---wasn't worried about hail damage in the least!) The weather out there was absolutely fascinating, truly a Force of Nature. Kinda miss it, though actual tornado warnings were kinda scary---we lived in a rancher, on a slab: NO basement!
