Yep right in the flint hills. just outside of Manhattan, KS
Its all limesone, I live about a 1/4 mile away from a rock quarry and im right at the same elevation as they are. My neighbor to the north is up higher by about 10 ft and when his house was built the quarry had to come over and blast. he has a few boulders at the bottom of his property that are about 5 ft thick and about 5ft wide and 10ft long. I have the same elevation on my property but decided to build on the next shelf down and glad i did or i wouldnt be able to afford to put in my house. BTW I've found out that limestone weighs 163lbs per cubic ft in solid form and so far the retaining wall im building out of it are only about 2 ft high and 20 ft long and ive got nearly 20hrs into it. doing it all my self, the walls need to be about 8ft high. they are about 2ft wide at the bottom.
I think im going to break it up into different terraces maybe 2 4ft walls. most of the rocks im using are about 80-150 lbs ive got some 300 pounders at the bottom though so Im sure there will be enough weight in it (and leaned back into the hill)to keep from falling over
