For God’s sake, people, visit Greensburg!

The newest Kansas Official Visitors Guide arrived in our mail the other day — just in time for dead-of-winter daydreams about summer road trips!

For anyone who might be looking for ways to save a little gas money — and spend those precious tourism dollars close to home — the glossy mag offers detailed trip-planning tips for travelers looking for any kind of getaway, whether for a long weekend or a two-week family vacation.

Oh, sure, there are all the predictable detours to salt mines and prairie dog towns; quilt displays and American Indian art galleries; small-town historic societies and army museums; country schools and covered wagons; hoe-downs and re-enactments.

But there’s also a lot of nature-y stuff to do in the Sunflower State, with its abundance of tall-grass prairies…

… and scenic lakes.

 
And, yeah, what would a “Visit Kansas!” book be without some Oz crap.

But in this 158-page magazine filled with ads for most of the state’s little towns and oddities, one stands out as particularly honest.
