So, I've read so much here about Hays, but nothing about Russell or Gorham, both nearby. Do either of these towns hold merit (or dark evil secrets)?
Thanks, Tom |

Russell and Gorham are both nice areas. Gorham is much smaller and rural than Russell. Russell is the county seat for Russell County as Hays is for Ellis County. There is a lot of interesting history in that area. Their biggest worries are their water supply. Russell has been very aggressive in getting new industries, trying to save their city. They have their own electric company. The scenic Saline River Valley is just north of Russell and always worth the drive, anytime of the year. The limestone is plentiful and bright white in the area. Russell has a small airport, great schools and a wonderful base population. I have some family there, they were new to the area and were rapidly accepted. They now have a successful business there. You will also want to take a good look at Ellis, just west of Hays. Glen
