Sun City, Kansas







Sun City, Kansas is home to the famous burgers and coldest beer at Buster’s. Under new ownership, recently renovated and a new menu, we had to go see what happened to the beloved Buster’s!

On our way, we passed the newly installed wind turbans out in the very middle of the fields. They are spectacular in so many ways. Honestly, I don’t find them offensive or intrusive at all. How could they be any uglier than telephone poles or electrical lines? High in the air, making this whirling sound, almost soothing in a strange way.

Buster’s was clean, the bathrooms were all new and the menu had changed completely. No more handmade burger patties, the animal heads were cleaned off, pictures were hanging straight on the walls…..at least the beer was cold.

After lunch we went to Greensburg, Kansas. The town is still being rebuilt after the horrific tornado three years ago. Even after all of the new houses, commercial and retail spaces replaced the town has this eerie feeling about it. Destroyed, people had their lives torn apart and now working to make it better. True pioneers!

A tank full of gas, cold water and bathroom breaks we made the decision to go to Pratt to the Fish and Game Preserve. Truly a beautiful place, Crane’s, Blue Herron’s, fish jumping and shade everywhere was such a welcoming sight. I didn’t even know it was there. We took some pics and enjoyed the shady break, then off to Garden Plain for dinner and red beer. It was hot, we were tired and thirsty. We also knew that this was our last ride together until we leave for Fayetteville, Arkansas on September 30. It was a great end to the day.

Peace!
