First drive on K-5 - 2006

Saturday Drive #1 I enjoy a nice drive. I like to explore the Kansas City area and find fun, twisting, country roads. I found one this weekend that was a delight. Heading north on I-435 (Kansas side) just past Leavenworth road is the exit for Kansas 5 (Exit 18). This is a wonderful country road that winds its way to Leavenworth. At the exit, turn left to get on to Kansas 5. What you will see on this drive: A dirt race track. Lakeside Speedway. A llama farm. Two Lansing correctional facilities. The Leavenworth National Cemetery. I recommend stopping here for quiet contemplation and paying your respects. This drive will take you to Muncie Road and Kansas 7 in Leavenworth. Come back to Kansas City via 5 or 7.
