Kansas Bridges, A collection of old Bridges in South East Kansas

Photographs of Kansas Bridges

My Collection of  Photographs of  Some

of the many old Bridges Located in South Central Kansas

As I travel around this beautiful State of Kansas 

I am always on the look out for old bridges

I really love the stone arch bridges that are scatted around the State

I have noticed the state has started to identify these old bridges 

with signs on the main road ways.

There are several located in Cowley County 

the signs are small signs that read stone arched bridge with an arrow 

pointing in the direction to the bridge.

There is a sign on K-15 South of Dexter, and then another one on highway 160

just East of Winfield Kansas.

I drove to that one a couple of months ago, there was so many weeds growing around it I was 

unable to get any pictures.

I hope you enjoy the bridges 

you can purchase any of these pictures HERE

Thank you for looking

Have you seen the giant turtle in Winfield?

My wife has been telling me about this giant turtle that lives in Winfield Ks.

She said it was made from natural stone

and that it was huge.

So the last time we were in Winfield, my wife directed me to the turtle

we were on our way to Mulvane to take our grandson home

so it was a treat for him to see it.

Elgin Kansas Revisited, a Kansas Ghost town

Elgin Ks.

Revisited, 

I live about 15 miles from Elgin 

and every now and then I will take a drive down there

it's a fascinating little town,

 back in the 1800's  Elgin was the main Rail Head for cattle shipments to the North.

Cowboys would drive their cows up from Texas and Oklahoma to Elgin.

Those days are long gone,Now Elgin it just  shell of a town,

downtown lays in ruins, with all of the old brick buildings in total decay.

One of The only building standing

Id the old Elgin State Bank Building

the walls are still intact but the roof has long disappeared

It was a grand old building back in it's day

Wonder how many dollars passed thru it.

Inside the bank there sits this old safe

It appears to be original to the

building 

Traveling west out of Elgin, following the Caney river 

you will come to the Bee Creek Bridge

The railroad used the bridge to span the the small Bee Creek

Bee Creek only runs after a good rain and it dumps into the Caney River.

Stone Arched Bridge Elgin Kansas.

While we were there my grandson decided to see if he could 

jump across the water

My First Riding Lawn mower

My first Riding Lawn mower self propelled by granny Pete this is our grandson when he was probably 2 or 3 maybe 4 years old. He pushed the lawnmower from out of the garage  and set on it. My wife decided she would push him around a bit, then he didn't want to get off,

 and threw a fit (watch the whole video) when she went to get him off.

The massive Bomb bay's this bomber

has two separate bomb bays

This day there were other vintage aircraft on display

After checking out the aircraft on the run way 

we went into the museum 

Where there were numinous aircraft and space vehicles

The most impressive airplane was

the F-15 Fighter 

this thing was massive in size 

This is looking into the exhaust of the F-15

There are numerous other vintage airplanes on display

inside the building

There is a robot arm that was used on the space shuttle

that people could operate.

I enjoyed the F-15 and the B-29

my grandson is a bit more modern

and he freaked out seeing the MD 80 

That greets visitors as the arrive in the parking lot.

Hope you all enjoyed our visit to Tulsa
