No it's not

I had no idea at the time, of course, that these photos of the Farragut school would come in handy.

Years later, after Farragut started grade-sharing with Hamburg, the state shut down the district.

What was left of the original New Market school. Newer elementary and gym addition on either side remained.



A series of correspondence set me up to get from Traer to Denver in two days.

While I was in a bit of a hurry, I wanted to cover highways along the way, including US 69 through Kansas City.

Still following 69's convoluted route through metro KC

The "funny" part was that I ended up at the same Salina hotel I'd stayed at seven months earlier. (No photos as it got dark and rainy.)

Former end of US 156



(I mean, of course I had to stop by here.)

Kansas has quite a few spur highways connecting towns formerly on US 40 to I-70.

I-70 through Kansas was a pleasant drive, just long. It was a beautiful day.



K-274 to the Agricultural Research Center in Hays has been decommissioned.
