In the Sonoran Desert National Monument, I've experienced a mix of serenity and excitement, from visiting a stunning Hindu temple to exploring a dwarf car museum and sunsets!
After getting a little bit of work done, I decided to head into town and check out the local history. The Platte Valley Historical Society has done a fantastic job preserving area history.
There is only one barn remaining from the famous Pony Express, and it's right here in Marysville, Kansas, so there was no way I would miss this fabulous attraction from the Wild West.
Near Cottonwood Falls, the small town of Strong City was once the railroad hub in the area. The trains now roll through the town without stopping, but an open caboose caught my eye.
