Day 10: Hutchinson, Kansas

Drove with Grace & Pete Schlegel to Hutchinson, Kansas to see two fantastic sites:  the Cosmosphere and the Salt Museum.  The Cosmosphere puts all other air & space museums to shame, including, possibly, the Smithsonian.  It contains more actual artifacts and information than can possibly be absorbed in one viewing.  And the salt museum is located 650 feet below ground and contains film, data and other irreplaceable items for storage, as well as a working salt mine.  Fantastic!
Another full day, and I haven't even been out to the farm yet!  That's on the agenda for tomorrow and then I head to Colorado.  Who knew that western Kansas contained so many varied and interesting things?  I guess most native Kansans.

  1. You also haven't mentioned the food choices in KS--Corn on the cob ripe and sweet?
