May 9 - Cowboy Country

Drove out of Missouri and across a good part of Kansas today  Had a peek at Kansas City and good long-distance wave at Junction City (Danielle) and will go into Witchita tomorrow. Most of  southern Kansas reminds me of southern Alberta.  Some grain/wheat etc, but mostly cattle.  Had a chance to take one of the American Scenic By-Ways through very  rural areas and ended up tonight in a little town called Hesston.   Looks like Hesston is most famous for it's school Hesston College.   Here's what my journey looks like for the past two days:  Days 2 & 3

Tomorrow, I plan to go over to Dodge City and check out a little history on Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterton and other famous cowboys and maybe even get to Boot Hill. Hoping to get to Tombstone in Arizona next week, home of the famous OK Corral shootout.  Plan to get close to Denver Friday night to pick up my pal Bill on Saturday. I forgot my cowboy boots and have been feeling a little out of place, but I did pick up a co-op cap to try to fit in a little.  Love this place!
