Here's my US 50 playlist! • US 50 ||| 11-day Road ...
Here's part 1 of my summer road trip on US 50! I went from the eastern border of Kansas all the way to the end of US 50 in Sacremento, California. In this part, I travel from Kansas City to Newton (Day 1), which is about 170 miles. Most of this day was trying to get through the cluster of the city at the beginning and then exploring small towns along the way. I love visiting small towns in Kansas! Great way to get the trip started!

I have a lot of memories of that section of US 50. I lived in Hutchinson and my Grandparents live in Miami County which is on the Kansas Missouri border.. Once a month, our family would pile in the 1940 Chevy and take Hwy 50 to vist all of our relatives. We would get off of the highway at approximately Franklin. The road then was a gravel road. One vivid memory was in the Florence where the railroad paralleled the highway. The old stearm engines would be bellowing out black smoke. In good weather the smoke would go up and in bad weather the smoke would come out of the smokestack and then roll down to the ground. I especially enjoyed your looks at the small towns. Towns such as Elmdale and Stafforville were a few miles from the highway. We never got off the highway to explore those towns. i look forward to the rest of your US 50 trip.

This is great. I was born right on Highway 50 back when it reached Oakland, grew up within walking distance. When it was replaced with interstate 580, me and a neighbor boy cut the ribbon opening that freeway. Then I lived within a few blocks in Overland Park Kansas and Lee's Summit Missouri. What I remember about Leawood when I lived there was that they passed a law outlawing jogging off the sidewalk. Except they didn't have sidewalks. So essentially, they outlawed exercise. That wasn't as bad as Eudora Kansas, which outlawed bicycling over the city line, trying to keep the progressives in Lawrence away. That's all I've got to say about my experiences in Kansas. I love the state, never figured the people out. Dad's ranch was on Highway 50 in Shingle Springs California, in the family from 1890, before Highway 50 had even been dreamed up.

@danielmoore7332 10 месяцев назад

Going through Ottawa reminds me of Ottawa University and it made me think of this. You know I love college basketball.

And I wish to start my commenting right at the map. I still enjoy paper maps and atlases but almost nobody uses them anymore. When I was younger, I'd pull out the road atlas, pull up a random state and just imagine going to those places on the map. I'm glad you still use them.

Just got back from my first trip to Kansas. I stayed in Emporia, then Liberal, Oakley, and finally Atchison. Set Google Maps to No Higheays and added Dodge to my route to Liberal. I did not do the Flint Hills region justice. I stayed in Oakely for three nights and got a better feel for that corner of the state. I just loved driving the state. Saw zero large cities. ZERO. I miss those Delorme maps. The Annie Oakley motel was very clean. The rooms were too modern for my taste and it needs some neon, but that stay was nourishing. Think i understand Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk better now.

Well, you went through several towns I've lived in or been to. First off I lived in Lenexa as a baby, then a kindergartner. You bypassed it. I graduated from Gardner high school in 1968. Then I lived in Prairie Village but shopped in Leawood off and on, where you didn't stay in, it's a rich person city, then and now. An aunt and uncle lived in Wellsville many years ago and my family and I visited them. So you passed up many nice cities. Yes I've been to Wichita several times as another aunt and uncle lived there years ago. And I have a second cousin who lives there now but I don't know her very well. I think her Mother is living there now but the address she gave me didn't exist which I found out when a letter I wrote her was returned to me. I'm hoping to get a Christmas card/letter from her with the right address. She's in her 80s. Happy trails to you and God bless.

There are a string of towns in eastern Colorado that a rail road executive allowed his daughter to name. Alphabetically of course. Can't wait for Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. Spent a lot of time on 50 in the vicinity of both. Been waiting for this one John. Good on ya for getting it done.

Along the other portion of highway 50, in Missouri, of the western side of Union, there is an Old Highway 50 W, and Old Highway 50 E. When driving eastbound on highway 50, there'll be a left turn to get onto Old Highway 50 W. Caution, there is no left turn lane. In the eastern portion of Beaufort, western portion of Union, is an area that was once known as Jeffriesburg. I don't know where its post office used to be, or if the building its post office once was is still standing. Today the area between Union and Beaufort is mostly rural homes/farms.

Hey John! My girlfriend(now wife)attended ESU in the late 90s and I would travel most wknds from Wichita to Emporia via 50 and from Wichita I would go out of my way to hop on the scenic byway east of El Dorado to visit her because I was so fascinated by the flint hills. Great video as always man!
