What are your favorite spots in the flint hills?

Let's share some photos and GPS coordinates (if you have them) of our favorite locations, roads, and rides!

One of my favorites was Box Turtle 'Canyon', N38 55.817 W96 09.574 (http://backroadstouring.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=240&sid=822432b4a8651c90f7d9e26d5065c28b)

Some videos (not mine):

Looks awesome. Been to the turn off actually this time last year. Marc was on that ride too. Thanks for the cords cuz I couldn't find it again on any map.
I also seen this from Creekside posted on rideforum last July:

Box Turtle is open again. The 'hill' is gone and so is that deep rut stretch. Its still a handful. There is more rocks now from the crews busting up some of the hills. Still the most difficult road in that area.

I have that area on the agenda for my Toy and uncle's Tracker before it warms up hopefully.

"Box turtle" is cool, but I tend to like the area's with nice wide open views.  Here's an older video that has "BT" at the end.

Sweet Savage. Pretty sure I recognize some of that area from around Kahola lake. That's your KLX 300? What's the info on that?

I guess I have grown fond of the area around Emporia since it is close and I have nor need any GPS. I still find new roads and trails but I know the area from Madison-Cassoday-Cottonwood Falls-Council Grove-Admire-Hartford and back to Madison well enough any road I find I haven't been on, will dead end or bring me out where I can find my bearings. Lots of Oil fields with some really fun stuff and quite a few water crossings/features, streams with fish etc.

All I have for video is a hillbilly cam... ::)
