Somewhere within the prairie of Kansas, there's an area where you can watch wild horses that roam the land free, just as they were meant to be.
They don't get any special treatments (like a veterinarian), only supplemental feedings when they need it, and plenty of space to run. Horses of all ages, breed, and colors were moved here from the west to make sure they have a better life, where overcrowding and starvation aren't a problem. So, the Flint Hills has become their home, where they are watched over by a couple local ranches. Who brought them here? The Bureau of Land Management herded and captured these wild horses in the west to come live here, where they are held until they pass of their own accord.
For now, they roam free in the Flint Hills, which sounds wonderful. Wouldn't you love to live every day in the Flint Hills?
When a Kansas police department was contacted about a possible mountain lion sighting at a local park, officials set up a handful of trail cameras in Kansas in an effort to catch the feline frolicking. But much to the delight of the local PD and just about everyone else on the internet, something even better was captured on film. You will never guess what crazy things show up on these Kansas trail cams.

It all started pretty normal at first with a couple of cute furry creatures, like this coyote and skunk. It was everything the police department expected to see.
Can you imagine the reactions that must have happened while reviewing the footage? We are laughing right now just thinking of how fun that must have been.

Gardner Police report they didn't see any mountain lions on the cameras. Not one.
"We would like to sincerely thank the persons responsible as it made our day when we pulled up what we expected to be hundreds of pictures of coyotes, foxes, and raccoons," the police department said.
This one may be my favorite. I can picture these gorillas dancing and having fun in front of the camera. What a great joke for everyone to have a good laugh. Well done random strangers, well done.
We have to say, this is a pretty funny prank. Keep this in mind next time you find trail cams in Kansas. Then again, not everyone keeps a Santa costume in their back pocket for such occasions. Have you seen this trail cam footage before? Leave us a comment below about what you would do in front of the camera for a good laugh. (Please keep it clean).

We're a rural state with a great deal more agriculture than many other places, but in today's world of online shopping and omnipresent grocery stores, it can still be easy to forget where your food comes from. It's unfortunate because I think it's really important to remember how many farms in Kansas exist, and what an important role they play in our economy. After all, you don't want your kids growing up thinking food just magically appears on grocery store shelves! One great way to combat that type of misconception is by taking the whole family out to visit a u-pick farm, and one of our favorite u-pick farms is Gieringer's Family Orchard and Berry Farm in Edgerton, KS. It's the perfect place to visit on a warm day. Check it out:

This charming family-owned orchard is located in Johnson County and you may have seen the produce grown here at farmers markets throughout the state.
While you can purchase the pre-picked berries at the farm market, heading out to the field on a u-pick day is a special experience that's so much fun for the whole family.
