Geocaching Adventures in Kansas

We have not traveled the eastern side of Kansas until this trip. All about the counties, remember? Previous travels through KS have been more north to south/south to north through the central and western parts of the state.

We stopped at Fort Scott for a few caches. One of them was on the site of the old fort.

maybe one of the very few original buildings

weapons of the period

rebuilt fort buildings

housing the officers

thought this was an interesting tidbit

a picturesque setting

with a history of lots of unrest

A drive through the historic main street brought us to the unexpected...

one of two mansions

this one a B&B

doesn't this look inviting?

geocache right on the front porch

for whom the town is named

General Winfred Scott

the second mansion, Nate's Place

a restaurant

also looks inviting

And then farther down the road, a nondescript cemetery, except for its name and sign...

and 6 new KS counties!
