Suggest Scott State Park. Annie Oakley park in Oakley used to offer free camping not sure if they still do.

One time I was stranded in Colby waiting for embroidery machine parts and drove down to Oakley for something to do. I'd already seen the sod house in Colby 2X <SHRUG>
I don't remember Oakley being much more exciting.
I did learn an important lesson however.
UPS doesn't do overnight delivery's to Colby, Ks. or Liberal either for that matter. :angry: :angry: :wink:

John , it isn't the town , it is monument rock I am interested in . Full of fossils from the time when the continent was cut in half by an ocean .

Yea, except for the fact it's on I-70. I'd much rather do 160 or @ least 400. I'd rather have a vodka enema than ride 70 the whole way.

There are alternatives to I-70.

Yes, believe me, I've been to Kansas. Maybe not as much as Glider John and Daniel K, but I've BEEN to Kansas

Oh yea, I've met and worked with many a good Kansan, and Okies too for that matter. Heck I've even met a good Nebraskian or two.
There's nothing like the peace and solitude you get out on the plains. Too bad more big city folks can't enjoy it.

that's Monument Rocks on the horizon

not many open hotels in Orion

Little Orion is a good test of your map (or GPS software); likely it won't be shown.

Thanks Deke :bow: See JS , we can get there W/O employing the interstate :laugh:
Dusty

I had a feeling we'd pull Daniel out in the open :grin: I wonder if we could just throw out a tarp and a therma-rest by those rocks and call it home for a night? That would be a cool sunrise!

I only rarely ride I-70 in Kansas; there's hardly ever a need. Need to get to the rocks? Then you should be on state highway KS-4.
-
I concur with Daniels choice if Highway 4. I would be willing to lead a tour of Kansas hot spots. Speaking of Highway 4 there is also a very interesting motorcycle museum along it.
