Abandoned Limestone
For anyone who loves abandoned limestone farmhouses, Northcentral Kansas has got to be looked upon as something close to paradise. Seemingly every road has its share. Based on my three times randomly driving about in the area, you see one on average about every 5 miles. There were two others within a mile of this one--situated in NW Lincoln County--as well as a limestone one-room schoolhouse. Unfortunately, I did not go inside. The front door was locked, and while there was another way inside, it looked problematic, with rotted floors and lots of rubble. If I'd had more time, I might have carefully tried to wend my way inside, but I didn't have much light left, and I still wanted to investigate he little town of Hunter just north of here (you can see a shot of that town here: www.flickr.com/photos/80014607@N05/46479223214/ ). As I've pointed out in several uploads from the area, including the one linked above, much of the limestone you see is distinctively striped, as is the limestone in this one.
