Have you ever gone to the "Barb Wire Capital of the World" at LaCrosse Kansas. Back in the 1970's, LaCrosse township use to host the Antique Telephone Collectors Association annual meeting and show. I have visited the barb wire museum several times. I found it interesting that since they didn't have tree's in that area and they used rock for post.
