We left St Joseph's MO on Friday and headed back to the west on the Lewis and Clark Trail to pick up I-70 west. We passed through the beautiful Flint Hills which is some of the most fertile pasture land in the USA. Cattle ranchers from Texas would drive their herds to the Flint Hills to fatten them for sale at the exchanges in Kansas City. At Ellsworth we headed south into Lyons to visit my sister and brother-in-law for a few days. We plan to spend the 4th here before continuing south to Austin, TX.
On Saturday, we took a walking and driving tour of the town of Lyons, and had a nice dinner at the Lone Wolf Restaurant in Elinswood. Lyons is basically a farm town where the main product is grain: wheat, corn, milo (sorghum) and soy beans. The winter wheat harvest just concluded last week. The corn, milo and beans are growing well for harvest in the fall.
