Larned was an attractive, if sleepy, little city about 25 miles from Great Bend. The highway runs along what was the Santa Fe Trail. The Santa Fe Trail Center and historic Fort Larned are nearby. I hadn't intended to stop in Larned but my mediocre breakfast at Perkins' in Great Bend left me wanting a doughnut. I didn't find any in Larned but I did see the Bat Cave, which had fewer calories, yet was almost as satisfying. I have no idea what the story is behind the Bat Cave.
