Country Bridge

So, I've been posting Flint Hills pics taken from the 'cattle pens'. In a nutshell: I-35 is a toll road between Emporia and Wichita, where it runs through the Flint Hills area, and you can't exit without paying (and paying again to get back on). If you want to take pics along the way, you either have to pay; avoid that stretch of I-35 altogether (with something like the Flint Hills Scenic Byway); try to shoot out the window as you drive by; or take a chance on pulling over on the shoulder. Except there's this one exit along the way, the cattle pens. There's an off-ramp on both southbound and northbound I-35, with a place to park and a bridge crossing over the interstate. It's a great way to actually pull off and take pics without interference, and there are some decent vistas within walking distance.

If you're wondering what the place is like, presented for your perusal: the Cattle Pens bridge. :)



You can even see my car there, if you look. :) (Granted, I was taking this pic more of the clouds than the area, so the car's kinda small...)
