Seirer_170828_7962.jpgWild sunflowers line a fence line in the Arikaree Breaks of northwest Cheyenne County. The rugged Breaks were created some 9,000 years ago when wind sculpted the sand, silt and clay particles called loess. Over time, erosion has created ravines and gullies deep enough to deter road construction. A rancher in this area northwest of St. Francis said the best way to explore the inner mysteries of the Breaks is by horse.
