My favorite spot is along the old Smoky River Trail that crossed Kansas in the 1800s. From my perch on the bluff overlooking the river I can imagine herds of buffalo with bulls bellowing. Tipis certainly lined the bluffs where I sit and watch for whitetail bucks to feed along the stream side thickets. Flocks of turkeys work their way along the river, ducks fly back and forth, coveys of quail call from the thickets. Beavers are doing their best to place a few dams along the stream. I'll try to assist by reestablishing willow thickets as best I can along the river. Very thankful to own it and hoping it remains in the family for a few generations.
