i am going tdy to fort leavenworth kansas on the 8th and will be staying for two week. anyone know of anything to do over there? google brings up a big fat nothing.
 

HEY


there is plenty to do in Kansas!!!

In Wichita alone...

theres, theres, three Warren movie theaters.

West side just got IMAX!

um, I think one or two trails but I never been. I think Jeepz has a list of official off road trails by state but not sure where.

Let me look real quick
 

the fun thing about tdy is they fly you and you don't get a jeep. this is my first tdy trip with no rental car. i can see huge amounts of suckage coming
 
You probably didn't notice the smile on Dorathy's face when she looked at Todo and said "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore".
I don't know bout KS but here in MO we like tornado riding. Don't forget your helmet.
 
nah, been through a few already in different states. if you craigslist that area, it seems to be only horny women looking for guys for a good time. not what i am going for when i get there.
 

its kansas, there are corn fields and highways...nothing else worth mentioning
 
for two weeks, i would have to bring 4 or 5. i read a fair amount. i think i will pack my laptop (of course), and my xbox360 with cod black ops, cod 2, and forza 3
 

How many of you are actually from Kansas?

I am from Wichita. Its great for a Teenager. Two crappy malls filled to the brim with stuff i can Afford! All my friends. One Army Surplus store filled with 10 dollar ammo cans all sizes. Expensive movies so I look rich and cool when I loiter there.

Thats about it for teenagers, OH a Guitar Center!!!

What I don't like

I am so flipping far away from the Ocean!!! yet there are three dive shops.

If you talk about science, or Evolution or stuff like that, the old people call you Satanists! okay, that part is fun at times but still! I hate being surrounded by people who will openly deny fact!!!

Wichita is kinda an Oasis as is though. you drive 35 minutes in any direction and you will be in the middle of no where.

Also if you are staying in a motel (and a few Hotels) there is like a 30% chance you wont have a T.V. so only bring the xbox if theres room.

Otherwise, yup your pretty much boned going to the middle of dusty no where with a few hotels, maybe a town hall and other necessities, like Pizza Hut.


Confession, I secretly wish Texas to fall victim to global warming so Kansas becomes A LOT closer to the Ocean.
 
Hell, why dont we all meet in the middle of the Kansas plains and have an xbox party!!!

THIS IS MY 200 POSTING SO PARTY FOR SCUBADUDE IN BOB'S FIELD TONIGHT!!! bring out of state accomadations like toilet paper and porn!!! YOUR IN "HOLY" LAND


okay so its not that bad but a lot of people are pretty religious about their, well religions.

Also kansas gives 13 year olds drivers licenses if they live or work on a farm!

i don't, I live in a big house on the West side, but still its pretty cool to see the rare 13 year old driver creeping down the highway in their pop's tractor.
 
i will have to walk there :(

i am staying on base, in the army hotel so it should have internet. its next to the px and food court and a burger king. the bowling alley is right behind it and the golf course club house is across the street.

i think i will end up finding one of the permanent duty units and seeing if they do any pt in the afternoon and if they do, seeing if i can join them. last time i did this, in 03, i got to do pt in the back and got treated like a warrant or an officer since i am a civilian and my grade is equivalent to a high O2 or a newly promoted O3.

that is why i cannot understand why i keep getting denied a rental car. i've asked twice and keep getting told not for this trip. i get officer's per diem on orders and officer's rates when i travel off orders but no rental car.

and i am not putting my golf clubs in the general luggage area on the plane. i have two degrees in aviation technology and worked civilian aviation while in school. i know how stuff is treated down there. i will borrow some clubs form the course and use a house ball when bowling
 
Sounds like you got it figured out.

YOU HAVE TO WALK THERE!!! wait, from where do you have to start walking?

If its a block then deal with it, if its from Texas, sounds pretty bad.
 

But seriously: Look into finding local fishing holes. See if there's a gun show happening on the weekend (Kansas City KS and Kansas city MO have some big shows. gunshows-usa.com (if you're into guns)
I also remember seeing a special on some hiking in ks. google is your friend. rent a kayak and find a river. (take your fishing pole along just incase). And even though its flat, theres got to be some mountainless-mountainbiking trails around. In the west we called them "single track" but out here they call them cow trails. ;) Becareful, it won't be mud that you slip on. :lol: As for scuba diving: Ya we got a handfull of scuba shops in the St. Louis area too. They dive the old mine shafts/quaries that have been turned into lakes. Maybe you can also do some nuddling, if its legal in KS. Its not really a requirement to be missing at least 2 teeth to do it. Thats just a vicious rumour!
 
Seriously? What is nuddling?

I would google it but knowing what vicious rumors and things that are border line illegal kind a makes me want to stay away.
