Larry Hornbaker's Travel Notes. Featuring Reports Of My Travels Around Kansas. Sunday, April 21, 2013. An Afternoon in Southeast Harvey County, Kansas. After having been committed to doing other responsibilities, it was nice to have an afternoon to get out and explore again, even though it was close to home and I only traveled 78 miles. There is always something new to see! Further, I noticed some child's markers at Mission Cemetery, one of which had this spinning whirligig. Larry Hornbaker, KE 2013.
