Biking Across Kansas Photography Project
We are excited to introduce the BAK Photo Project with a
friendly competition! Our theme is “The Spirit of BAK.”
As you make your way across Kansas, keep an eye out for
people and things that showcase the spirit of BAK. Then,
using your camera, smart phone, video device, whatever you
have, capture those moments and share them with everyone
through social media, email, texts or direct download.
As possible, we will share photos throughout the week via
social media. At the end of the week, we will pull the top
photos which showcase The Spirit of BAK and include them
in a video recap of the week. (Hint: the more faces, the
better!) This video will be shared online after we have all
returned from BAK.
Whether it is the riders, the SAGs, the road kill, or the public
we meet along the way, let’s capture and share what makes
BAK so special and such a great community.
Here’s how you can participate:
• Email: [email protected]
• Twitter or Instagram: Tag your photos with #BAK15
or #BAK2015
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bakphotos/
(Join the page and upload directly to the page)
Be sure to include: Your name, the location of the photo,
names of people in photo, and any interesting details about
the photo. There is no limit to the number of entries.
Use proper etiquette when photographing on private
property and in businesses / museums. Be certain you
understand all local photography rules, i.e., some museums
allow photography but not flash. When in doubt, ask.
Usage: All photos are subject to the BAK’s Use of Name/
Likeness policy, which you signed/agreed to at the time of
BAK registration.

Grant County:
With Ulysses as the county seat, it was named after the 18th
President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant.
Ulysses: (pop. 6,161)
Founded in 1885, approximately two miles east of its present
location, “Old Ulysses” was a booming town from 1885-1888
with 1,500 residents. The year of 1889 brought drought, and the
population dwindled about 100 people by 1908. With debt from
bonds issued for improvements never made, the town was left
to pay exorbitant taxes. After one year, the citizens decided to
take their belongings and move. The city fathers moved two
miles west purchasing a quarter of land that was deeded to the
New Ulysses Town Company. In February 1909, residents began
moving the remains of the town to its current location. Over
three months, skids were used to move the larger buildings and
wagons to move smaller ones.
18
Grant County Courthouse (NRHP): 108 S. Glenn St.
Constructed in 1930, the Grant County Courthouse replaced
a wood frame structure that had been used since 1888. It was
nominated as part of the “Historic County Courthouses of
Kansas Multiple Property Submission” for its architecture and it
association with the history and development of Kansas county
courthouses.
Grant County Adobe Museum: 300 E. Highway 160 (State
Historical Register). The museum tells the story of story of
human survival from the mid 1930s to the industrial boom,
featuring exhibits from the dust bowl era to the gas exploration.
Artifacts and exhibits demonstrate life on the High Plains,
including artifacts from Old and New Ulysses as well as Indian
artifacts and items found along the Santa Fe Trail. The museum
also displays Native American Petroglyphs. This is recognized
as “8 Wonders of Kansas History.”
Saturday, June 6
Route Guide
Lakin: (pop. 2,379)
Founded in 1873 by John O’Loughlin who, after the completion
of the railroad, saw the need to service the pioneer spirit that
was sweeping the nation. Imagine two large herds of buffalo
(settlers estimating 3 million per herd) extending as far as
the eye can see. By 1875, one herd was almost completely
exterminated, giving rise to a large industry in Lakin as buffalo
bones were gathered and shipped to the east.
Chouteau’s Island (Historical Marker): US50 (1 mile west of
Lakin). Name after Auguste P. Chouteau, who in the spring of
1816 was attached by 200 Pawnee Indians while traveling along
the Arkansas River. He retreated to what was once an island
(located 5 miles SW) and was able to beat back and save his
winter catch. In 1825, a government survey of the island listed
it as a turning off place for the dangerous “Jornada” to the
Cimarron. For a time, the river there was the Mexican boundary.
Kearny County Museum: 111 S. Buffalo St. Attractions dating
from the 1872 on this 20,000 sq ft complex. Sites include a one
room school house, the oldest house in Lakin, the A.T. & Santa
Fe railroad depot, the Farm Machine Shed, and the round barn.
Lakin High School: 407 N. Campbell. Santa Fe Trail historical
marker is located at the school.
The Santa Fe Trail Kearny County Segment 1 (Charlie’s Ruts)
(NRHP): 4 miles E of Lakin on US 50.
Looking east, up and over the bank of the ditch, a set of wagon
ruts can be seen. Travel over this segment likely began in 1821
and ended with the arrival of the railroad around 1872. In the
distance to the south are trees lining the banks of the Arkansas
River. During the early years of the trail, this was the boundary
between Mexico and the U.S.

Named for deer that grazed nearby, it was first settled in 1885.
Development followed closely to that of Lakin. The Mountain
Branch of the Santa Fe Trail followed north of the river in Kearny County and snaked through present day Deerfield.
Holcomb: (pop. 2,094)
In 1878, the Sante Fe railroad established a flag station where
Holcomb now exists. Originally named Sherlock, after the
director of the railroad. In 1909, the town of Holcomb was
officially plotted and named in honor of D.C. Holcomb, a local
rancher.
On a mid-November night in 1959, the brutal murders of four
members of the Clutter family took place in a rural farm house
in Holcomb. The case and house, became infamous after wellknown writer Truman Capote wrote the bestselling, non-fiction
crime novel. His book “In Cold Blood” was turned into a major
motion picture in 1967.
Sunday, June 7
Garden City: (pop. 26,658)
Founded in February 1878, locals first called it “Fulton Town.”
Legend offers that the current name was suggested by a passerby. One day a gentleman jumped from the train and asked
Mrs. Fulton the name of the town. Mrs. Fulton wasn’t fond of the
name, “Fulton Town,” so the gentleman, noticing the flowers she
was watering at the time, politely suggested, “why don’t you call
it Garden City?”
The “Big Pool”: 403 S. 4th in Finnup Park. The “Big Dipper” as it
was once called, was dug in 1922, most of it by hand. The swimming pool is bigger than a football field and is big enough to
accommodate water skiing.

town, the name was changed to Louisburg in the early 1870s to

amount of disorder because Louisburg was a boom-town and
also due to the conflicts between the Free-State Jayhawkers and
the pro-slavery Missouri Raiders.
