We were up early to start our day at sunrise to get our miles in before the temperatures became unbearable. We started the day at 53 degrees in our leather coats and by lunch it was 92 degrees.
This caboose sitting at McDonald’s was interesting. There is not a lot to take pictures of going across Kansas. It is mainly corn and wheat fields. The many cattle feed lots where they load the cattle on rail cars were very interesting and I would have taken pictures of those but the wind was seriously too strong to stop the bikes along the road and try to take pictures. Wade and I both were worn out fighting the wind on the bikes. We stopped several times at gas stations to give our arms a rest. This was the worst wind day we have had.
It was a welcome treat to get to Dodge City and head to the Boot Hill. The lager we had is similar to what would have been served in the late 1800’s in a saloon and it was good.
I think Wade was feeling comfortable 😂
It was cool seeing Gunsmoke on these old televisions.
Then there was a shootout between cattle rustlers and the law enforcement 😉
The Boothill Museum and Cemetery were very interesting. The museum has so many artifacts and such great information. We enjoyed our afternoon and evening learning about life in the 1800’s in Dodge City. Of course, we had to have steaks for dinner. Now we need to watch some Gunsmoke.
