Ransom, KS

We arrived Sunday, 8/31/08, to the midwestern metropolis of Ransom, KS -- a favorite vacationing spot for misplaced Hawaiians. Was a nice drive south through the country side; winds were blowing several gales strong so most cattle were leaning sideways. Stopped into Hill City (birthplace of Shane) to get him a t-shirt. Local residents were damn helpful in trying to locate one, but there was none to be had. Now that word is out that the tourists are looking for t-shirts there's likely to be hundreds available next year and, of course, none of them will sell.

Look for some very rural photos soon on flickr.
