For years, a quarter-mile stretch of this western Reno County road was canopied by elms and cottonwoods. I’ve had adults tell me that, as children, they pestered their parents into driving this route so they could see the trees. Sadly, the trees have suffered wind and ice damage and have been severely trimmed so that the canopy is gone. West of Hutchinson in Reno County, Kansas. October 24, 2006.
