Flint Hills Drive and Kansas Sunset

Today HRC and I took a drive along Skyline Road, a scenic drive through the Kansas Flint Hills. We saw amazing views and fantastic fall colors that cannot be captured ... at least by a pocket camera.
Along the way we found Jaketown Road ...
but were frightened to take it.
So we drove to Alma ( population of 797) where we ate dinner at Deb's Cafe. The special was all-you-can-eat fried chicken. Across the street is the old Alma Hotel.
Believe it or not, 33 years ago The Alma Hotel had a French Restaurant that was truly fantastic. Really. The menu was small, but exquisite. The wine list was equally impressive. HRC and I enjoyed our wedding night dinner there. I had escargot. Tonight I had fried chicken.

After dinner we enjoyed a colorful Kansas sunset.
It's a beautiful world.
