Flint Hills Nature Trail -- Council Grove east about 5 miles to old school house

Daughter had a cross country meet in Council Grove tonight, so after that was over, we hopped on the Flint Hills Nature Trail for a short ride.  As it was 6:15 when we got started, we were only able to go about 5 miles before we had to turn around and head back while we still had daylight.  Didn't take many pictures as we were just trying to get some miles in in the short time we had, but we managed to snap a few.

We had parked our car at the Saddlerock Cafe, which by the large number of other cars parked there before our ride, was doing a very brisk suppertime business.  When we got back to our car after our ride at 7:15, we were hungry and ready for something to eat ourselves and our plan had been to eat there, but when we saw that they closed at 7:30 we didn't want to make them stay late just to feed us, so we decided we would give them a try the next time we rode the trail from Council Grove.

This was our turnaround point.  Neat old school/church sans roof.

Harvest time, and boy was he kicking up the dust.  And boy could you smell it!  :)
