What shall I do today?

My husband and I are from England, living in Wichita since August and at a loss for something to do over the next 3 days.

I%26#39;ve heard something about snow geese somewhere close by and would like to see them, but can%26#39;t remember where they are.

Happy to drive up to 2 hours and maybe stay overnight somewhere. Already been to Cottonwood Falls and surrounding area and might just go back there.

Any ideas? Thank you.http://www.tripadvisor.com/GoListDetail-i14061-Relax_in_the_Flint_Hills.html

I don%26#39;t know about snow geese wintering over in the area, but huge flocks stop over during migration. You might check on Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Refuge near Great Bend.

I saw this flock at Squaw Creek refuge north of KC in early March of %26#39;05 http://www.mightymac.org/neb18.JPG %26amp; http://www.mightymac.org/neb30.JPG

There are a lot of interesting places north of you within a 2 hour drive. For example, Lucas is pretty cool, unique and wouldn%26#39;t be weather dependent. tripadvisor.com/GoListDetail-i10929-Lucas_Ka…

You might try www.explorekansas.org or a nice day trip would be to go to Medicine Lodge which is about an hour and a half southwest of Wichita. The surrounding area reminds one of New Mexico or other areas of the American southwest. It definitely is worth a trip,even in the winter.

Although not open today Watermark Books has copies of a book by Marci Penner ,she has the Explore Kansas web site, listing things to see and do in practically every town in Kansas.

Although it is over a two hour drive Lawrence,Ks. is a very interesting town,with many good restaurants,shops, and the museums located at the university. It%26#39;s down town area is the way towns in this part of the country looked 50 years ago before shopping malls became a blight on the landscape.

If you are in Lawrence this weekend, you will probably see some eagles.

The Kansas River near downtown Lawrence stays open when much of the surounding water is iced over and the Eagles take advantage of it. Paticularly, just downriver from the 2nd Street Bridge.

What did you end up doing? Would love to read your impressions of Kansas.
