We woke to a thunderstorm and windstorm at 4:00 am and had to go out to bring in all the awnings.  A little more excitement the next day, when we needed ropes and a ladder to bring out the big awning again, as the wind had cause the pull strap to get totally wrapped up in the awning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(750 \/ 423)\"><div

tallgrass makes its last stand. Tallgrass prairie once covered 170 million acres of North America, but within a generation most of it had been transformed into farms, cities, and towns. Today less than 4% remains intact, mostly in the Kansas Flint Hills. Established on November 12, 1996, the preserve protects a nationally significant remnant of the once vast tallgrass prairie ecosystem and historic ranch buildings.<br><br>We arrived in time for the 10:00 van tour into the prairie, past grazing bison, and up to an overlook. We could have walked it, but NOT 5+ miles RT in almost 90<sup>o<\/sup> humid weather, with no shade! Besides, if we missed the van tour, we would also have missed the ranger talk about the Big 4 grasses (big bluestem, little bluestem, Indian grass, and switchgrass), the wild flowers, the bison herd (from Theodore Roosevelt NP), and other Tallgrass Prairie and area history. She also explained the relationship between The National Conservancy, which own the tallgrass prairie lands, and the National Park Service, which owns the historic buildings. And she told us that the grass was taller for this time of year than her superintendent had seen in 26 years! It&#8217;s been a wetter than usual summer. After the van tour we wandered around the historic limestone barn, the ranch house (i.e. limestone mansion), various outbuildings, and drove a bit north to the one-room school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(2560 \/ 1440)\"><div
