Dr. E.R. Hall, Chester Brown and I inspected
the proposed Flint Hills long grass area
on the west side of the new Kansas Turnpike
southwest of Emporia, as described in 'Halls letter and included in the Belton Report.
About midway of the area there is an overhead pass and cattle pens
on the east side. The overpass provides
access from the Turnpike to the Flint
Hills area but passage is locked.
Hall points out that there is a potential
entrance, already provided so that
people traveling the Turnpike could
readily get into the area.
He drove south to the first exit then
north past Matfield Green to Bazaar,
thence south some 4 or 5 miles into
the area and diagonally northeastward
across it following part of the time
a service road for a gas pipeline.
We crossed several small streams
generally with pools of water but very
little if any flowing. The area is!
