ARE WE REALLY BACK IN KANSAS?

Our stop in Denver was a mixed bag.  We had a delightful evening with Laura Kagan at her home. We were all set to catch up with Sandy Speedy when she ended up in the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery!  She's home and fine, but we missed seeing her this trip!  

Our next overnight was in Garden City Kansas, and a wonderful gem in an otherwise desolate countryside, The Buffalo Dunes Golf Course! We played a round on the course which could rival any on the Philadelphia Mainline for maintenance and condition. Kansas is pretty flat, so it is a great walking course! We loved it!

 

 Then on to Dodge City. What's a trip to Dodge City without a taste of the Wild, Wild West!  We off-loaded the scooter and set off for Boot Hill, a reproduction of Front Street in the 1870s. Boot Hill is named for the cemetery where gunslingers on the losing side of the barrel were laid to rest in shallow graves, generally with their boots still on. The museum was very interesting.

In the gallery of Honorary Marshals of Dodge City I found a picture of Roy Clark, friend Susan Thomsen Clark's Dad, who visited the Museum in 1978 and was named a Honorary Dodge City Marshal! Small world!

Do I need to say anything about this?

And what Wild West Town would be complete without the requisite Stagecoach!  All in all it was good fun.  We're on our way to Hutchinson KS for the FMCA 6-State Rally starting Monday.


HAPPY TRAILS!


Laura, Geoff, and their little dog too!
