Some of Y'all might think I'm crazy but I'm planning a trip to see the high spots in Kansas. I've done a search and haven't found anything. I'm coming in from the south and plan on seeing the Eisenhower Library, Fort Riley Cav. Museum and anything else worth seeing. I'm having trouble finding other places to visit as well as goot RV Parks. Any help would be appreciated.

Hutchinson has a great salt cave to tour.
Ft. Scott is a great historic town with a National Cemetery.

Newbies who can't wait to start filling in states.

Lots of good info at that site. I am a kansas native and am so glad you are going to visit. Just remember, very hot in summer and cold in winter. Springs and falls are wonderful.

Here's a few ideas to get you started.

Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson is a great place to spend a day.

Steamboat Arabia Museum in Kansas City is another. http://www.1856.com/

Ft. Riley is very interesting and includes both cavalry and infantry museums right next door to each other. History from pioneer days and WW II era and later. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&........=ft+riley+museum&cid=6102909755198363928 and http://www.1id.army.mil/UnitPage.aspx?unit=DPTMS.Museum

Combat Air Museum in Topeka has a great collection of vintage war birds on display. http://www.combatairmuseum.org/
