Kansas was miles and miles of open highway surrounded by miles and miles of rolling prairie. It was raining off and on and the hidden sun was making an eye aching glare. To break the monotony of the road, I found myself watching for the old homesteads and farms bordering the roadways.
Our journey wasn't all travel or photos....we stopped at antique stores, junk stores, yard sales. We wedged more of our collected loot into the van and had a great time just looking.
Then, on one of the back roads that we favored, poking above the countryside was this odd looking structure. Seeing workmen outside of it we stopped and asked questions. I was told that it is used to store the salt needed to clear the snow from the winter highways. Being a resident of the far west, I had never seen such a building before.
The dome shape keeps it from having to have interior posts and supports so the trucks and salt loaders can drive inside.
