Crossing Kansas

So imagine our surprise as we look out the window driving down the road in Kansas and see....

Yup, Minneapolis, Kansas.  Hang on, I have an interesting fact for you... Minneapolis, Kansas was actually named after Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1871.  So Cool..
 Known as Rock City because of the large round sandstone boulders located in unusual combinations. There are about 200 formations in a 5-acre area, some nearly 30 feet across.

Another interesting Kansas nugget is the Orphan Train Museum. As the story goes, in the early 1850's, it is estimated that about 30,000 children were living on the streets on New York City.  Two charities started a program to place these children with families throughout the country.  Starting in 1854, groups of these children were put on trains headed west. Towns were notified and prospective parents applied to take a child into their own home. 

 Wow, very humbling...
