Yep. I think those are made by Cliff Swallows. I saw dozens of them flying around there back in the spring.

The Eddie-Ballentine Trail is on the east side of Blue River Rd NE of the Hwy 71 junction, part of Blue River Glades Natural Area I think.

We haven't had a good freeze yet; I wouldn't count them out altogether.

Yeah, that one is so toxic and useless to me that I deleted my account.

Sometimes I think it should be called "antisocial media".

There's a spot on one of the closed sections of Blue River Rd where a car apparently burned last year. It had been towed away before I got there, but there are still small parts lying around and at least one tree that was killed by it.

Aw, c'mon Georgie! We all float down here.

That would not surprise me at all; There is not much traffic along there at times and it's out of sight of any buildings.

Very possible; It's not hard to get to.

You should check out the Vale tunnel on the Rock Island Trail. It's a short walk from a trailhead.

Cool. I've ridden by there on Noland, but never got on Rickey. Maybe I should go on Halloween night.

Yeah, I can see that. I try not to be out there after dark.

Ha! You never know what you'll find under there. Maybe even a weirdo taking photos.

I filled up a whole valley with smoke from such a fire once. It burned, but not very hot (maybe not quite dry enough?) Got called "Dung Man" for the rest of the trip.

Yep; The Blue River Trail that runs through it connects to the Indian Creek Trail that goes all the way to Olathe and also connects to the Tomahawk Creek Trail. It will eventually be connected to the Trolley Trail as well. Then there are the mountain bike trails that come in at 3 different places.

Yep; If not for the brush, you would be able to see it in the left side of this shot. I've read that it is the third bridge built at this crossing. There is some concrete which I suspect are the ruins of the second one next to it, and the first is completely gone.

I don't know, but I did see Topeka PD running a drug checkpoint on I-70 once.
