KANORADO, KANSAS! Pictures of Buildings and Scenery On The Kansas/Colorado Border
September 2005
 |
Kanorado, Kansas! You can't miss it on
Interstate 70 at the Kansas/Colorado border.
Exit 1 baby! :) |
 |
I stopped by after driving across Kansas starting in Olathe.
Below is all of my Kansas content:
Across Colorado Bike Ride (Start at Kansas State Line)
Kansas City BBQ |
 |
I spotted this nice-looking tractor
in someone's front yard. |
 |
This is definitely a quiet town folks!
From top to bottom, that's an old abandoned building, the former Kanorado Cash Store and Town Hall! :)
Other really small town pictorials (all in Colorado):
Hartsel
Rush
Texas Creek
Rico
Villa Grove |
Old Photos From My Visit To Kanorado In December 2000
 |
I got a shot of the Kansas state sign. |
 |
During this visit, I went to the post office
to ask where town hall was, and to my surprise, the locals were
having a Christmas party at the post office!
They even had goodies and stuff! |
 |
I was standing by the west side of town and looking west. I would estimate somewhere past that tractor is the Colorado border. |
 |
This was a neat experience! While mingling at the post office party,
I spoke of how the museum across the street was closed. Well, this friendly local told me she has a key to get in there,
and so we visited the museum! Kanorado is definitely a friendly small town!
In the top right photo,
I actually jumped inside the 100-year-old caboose. Also, I was told the structure in the bottom photo was a
temporary holding cell for criminals in the old days. Wow! |
 |
And there she is ... Hazel Estes, the mayor and chief
executive of the greatest town in all of Kansas! I actually drove to
Goodland to meet her where she works and I really appreciated her spending some time
in conversation with me. Thank you Hazel! :) |
