THE BOWLER AND THE HAMBURGER MAN

First, there was Larry Woydziak bowling in every county in the state. Then came Bill Bunyan eating a hamburger in every county.

And now, Kansas Explorer Club member #1033, Bill Bunyan, is on the homestretch in his quest to eat a hamburger in every county in Kansas. His latest stops have been at the Dusty Farmer, St. Francis in Cheyenne County; Charlie's, Leoti in Wichita County; Scotty's Care, Lakin in Kearney County; J.B. Stouts, Lawrence in Douglas County and Uncle Jack's, Independence in Montgomery County. As I recall, his Ellsworth stop for a burger was at the Rec Center in Wilson.

The next Explorer newspaper, according to editor Marci Penner, will give us an idea where his last stop will be so that other explorers can join him for his last burger. His top dozen hamburger joints will be listed in the Guidebook for Kansas Explorers.

Now we have Elaine Miller, Explorer #2696, of Wamego, and her husband Greg, visiting every couthouse in the state. To date, they have visited 35 with only 70 to go. Did you know the entrance to the Mitchell County court house in Beloit is a screen door?
