Marci Penner and WenDee Rowe hit the road for parts of four years to look in every one of the 626 incorporated towns and cities and in hundreds of other dots on the map and countryside locations. They drove dusty back roads and navigated big-city highways. They looked for architecture, art, commerce, cuisine, customs, geography, history, and people wherever they went. In their trusty Explorer Research Vehicle (lovingly known as ERV), the duo took tens of thousands of photos, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and visited with thousands of people. Five hundred Kansas towns are included in this guide containing entries on the best places to eat (672 restaurants are listed), beautiful scenery, history, customs, architecture, art, and people.
