Arikaree Breaks of Cheyenne County, KS - Visit the Cattle Trails with Tobe Zweygardt (5 of 6)
One of the great natural wonders of Kansas is an area called The Arikaree Breaks in the far NW corner of the state, adjoining the Colorado and Nebraska borders. The area is a breathtaking group of canyons and ravines carved by nature more than 9000 years ago.
For 93-year-old Tobe Zweygardt, preserving and sharing the rich geography and Native American history of the Breaks has been a lifelong passion. He was born in the county, and has lived there all his life. Having a personal tour with Tobe is a rare treat. These six video clips were an outgrowth from the Northwest Kansas Travel Council's video called A Story Around Every Curve, produced by First Generation Video of Wichita, KS.

Around Kansas - The Land and Sky Scenic Byway - October 19, 2016
(Frank) We're back. I'm going to sit up straight in my chair and behave. (Deb) I'll try. I’ll try. All right, we had the dedication of the latest, the Land and Sky Scenic Byway, out in far northwestern Kansas. It was an awesome time. I got to help with tours at Fort Wallace the day before October 5th. All the big wigs are coming out. That night, we had stargazing on Mount Sunflower with our friend, Brenda Culbertson. Remember Brenda, from up near Holton. She is at the observatory up there. She came out to Mount Sunflower and helped educate people about the all of the stars. I'm telling you, Frank, living out there, we don't live in town. We live up in the country. The sky is so big. It scared me the first couple of nights honestly. I'd walk outside, and I'm, Whoa, it was like being in outer space because- (Frank) Now, when you see the Milky Way, and everything out there- (Deb) You see the Milky Way and you just - stars on the horizon in either direction. It's something. But the Land and Sky Byway obviously celebrates the land and the sky because, it would include the Arikaree Breaks, and all that great different landscapes you get on the high plains. It's beautiful, and visit the Travel Kansas website to find all the scenic byways that have been designated. I think this one is number 12. They're just great little scenic drives and wonderful little communities, and it's just a great way to just bite off a little chunk of Kansas at a time, and enjoy it just a little piece at a time. The latest of the dozen designated scenic Kansas byways to be dedicated is in the far northwestern corner. The Land and Sky Scenic Byway follows 88 amazing miles along Kansas Highway 27 from Sharon Springs north to the Kansas-Nebraska state line. Travelers along the Land and Sky Scenic Byway have the opportunity to experience the Wallace Branch of the Great Western Cattle Trail, scale the highest point in Kansas at Mount Sunflower, and explore the deep canyons and rugged landscape of the Arikaree Breaks. Crossing Wallace, Sherman, and Cheyenne Counties, this byway includes the towns of Sharon Springs, Goodland, and St. Francis. The byway is also the only one in the state that focuses on agriculture and features thousands of acres of rotating crops, livestock and wildlife along the route. The Kansas Byways Program was formed to identify and designate scenic roadways for the enjoyment of the traveling public in Kansas. It is related to the National Scenic Byways Program, a project of the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The National Scenic Byways Program seeks to identify and designate national scenic byways to increase tourism and educate the traveling public about our nation's environment, history and culture. These roadways serve as natural, social, cultural and economic resources for the visitors to the state of Kansas, the people of Kansas and the local communities in which the roadways are located. The program is a cooperative effort among private citizens, local groups, local governments and state government agencies.
KTWU Plains People: Dr. Rebecca Allard
KTWU Plains People - Dr. Rebecca Allard: Several years back, the network television show Northern Exposure portrayed a doctor who was grudgingly forced to practice in a remote Alaskan village while he was paying off his loans for medical school. Thats not how the process of becoming a doctor worked for Dr. Rebecca Allard. In this segment, we learn how working in a clinic in St. Francis, Kansas, was exactly what this doctor was looking for. This segment was recently picked as a viewer favorite in an online poll.
Around Kansas - Deb and Frank's Chat - April 6, 2016
(Frank) Good morning. It's Wednesday. I'm Frank. (Deb) I'm Deb. (Frank) And this is Around Kansas. Good morning, thanks for joining us. (Deb) It's April already. (Frank) It is. April. So, you have a birthday coming up here too. (Deb) I do. I do, Friday. National holiday, everybody take the day off. We'll celebrate! (Frank) So, is that one of those spring forwards or spring back? (Deb) Honey, I may be springing back for a few years now. I think I'm just going to keep springing back from now on. (Frank) So, go on Facebook and wish her a Happy Birthday. (Deb) That would be so sweet of you. Better yet, send cash. There used to be this preacher on in the south, the Reverend Roosevelt Franklin from Macon, Georgia, and he was on, we could hear him every Sunday morning on some radio station and he was always talking about send cards and send letters, don't be sending no postcards, you can't put no money in no postcards. (Frank) I love that. (Deb) So yes, send cards and letters, don't be sending no postcards. (Frank) Can't put money in a postcard. Oh my goodness. (Deb) Hey I brought you something. (Frank) Uh oh, OK. (Deb) This is for you Frank. (Frank) OK. (Deb) St. Francis. I was visiting with the good folks from St. Francis, Kansas, the other day. They have a new motorcycle museum. (Frank) In St. Francis. (Deb) In St. Francis, so I thought that would be something you would enjoy tooling on out there and checking out. That could be one of your road trips on the bike this spring or summer sometime. (Frank) OK. (Deb) Beautiful drive along Highway 36 and yea, check it out. (Frank) So, now there are two motorcycle museums here in the state. (Deb) Ain't that...I tell you what we're just moving on up there, aren't we? (Frank) OK, we'll have to do a story on this. (Deb) We will, we sure will, yea. (Frank) I will put on my Go Pro and ride out there. (Deb) Cool. (Frank) That would be cool, yea. (Deb) That's some pretty scenery too. Heading out to St. Francis and then you can...so do you get off road any at all Frank? (Frank) No, no, I'm too old for that. (Deb) Alright. We do the Arikaree Breaks. We'll have to put the Go Pro on somebody else. (Frank) Pretty soon I'm going to have to have four wheels, training wheels on. OK, this is going to be one of those silly days folks. Anyway, I know you have been traveling, yea. We went to...actually we went to Oklahoma and got to check Bob's stagecoach. So, I believe he and his friend are going to start a stage line between Wallace and Russell Springs, I think. (Frank) Really? (Deb) Oh they might. Who knows what they might do? They may just give rides on the weekends. Who knows? But sometimes a man just has to have a stagecoach, you know it Frank? (Frank) OK. (Deb) And a team of mules, and a team of mules. (Frank) OK. (Deb) And a surrey. Sometimes a man just needs a surrey too, you know? (Frank) With the fringe on top. (Deb) It's got fringe on top. (Frank) There you go. (Deb) It's gorgeous. (Frank) Really? Well see it belongs in Oklahoma. (Deb) Yes, that's where we got it. We got it in Oklahoma. (Frank) Surrey with the fringe on top. (Deb) But now
it's in Kansas. (Frank) OK. (Deb) With lots of other cool stuff. Stay with us.
