October 23, 1992 - When an English woman, inspired by Isabella Bird's travels in 19th-century America, asked me last year how she might see the full dimension of the country, I said to drive U.S. Highway 50 from ocean to ocean. If she begins in the East, I know the very mile where she will exclaim from behind her windshield that she has at last arrived in the American West. That spot is in Kansas in the Flint Hills in Chase County: if Highway 50 is a belt across the midriff of America, then the Flint Hills make a buckle cinching East to West.
