Castle Rock is one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas. It's out in the middle of nowhere in Gove County, Kansas. It's 12 miles off of I-70 and dirt road the entire time.
The road is unmarked and my navigation directions said simple things like "turn right" and "stay left" because some of the roads had no names.
As we were driving, we saw a car stopped on the road. The family waved us down and asked if we knew where Castle Rock was...they were lost. They decided to follow us. Turns out they were headed to Indiana, and their son was a K-Stater. Small world!
Turn here.
Then the road turns into this kind of road. One set of directions we read said "follow the two ruts..."
We decided not to go down this road, because we weren't sure the van would make it out.
That's Zach on top of that rock.
It was completely silent out on the prairie, except for our voices and the wind and birds.
You can hear the birds in this video.
It started raining a bit while we were exploring. The rocks were deposited in the area by an ancient sea, and formed by the wind and weather.
That was interesting...climbing up to that point. Especially with my boots on...and by boots, I do not mean hiking boots.
