Flint Hills Farm
In January 2018, I drove through northern Kansas, I saw many abandoned farms - almost all the country houses were abandoned. The small towns that I drove through were (at best) semi-ghost. The farm places almost all had open gates and there were few "no trespassing" signs. The people who farm these lands now live elsewhere and since there is no stock to keep fenced in why close the gate? I decided that I would go back when the weather was better but unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make it - at least for now.
From my observations along US 36 this area has been completely devastated.
