Couldn't resist being Wyatt Earp for a day. Ever notice in virtually all old photos that no one ever smiles. Saw a thousand pictures today from the 1860's forward and not a smile.
Spent a few hours in Dodge City and visited the Boot Hill Museum, which includes the original Boot Hill Cemetary. This is where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson and others first became famous in cleaning up Dodge. Earp eventually moved on to Arizona to avenge the murder of his brother and gained notoriety for the shoot out at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Dodge is a little off the beaten path but sure worth seeing if you are passing through Kansas.
Here are a few pics from Dodge: Boot Hill
Moving into the mountains tomorrow and will have my first friend on board .. Giddyup

Bob you look just like Doc Holliday;
ReplyDeletethat black hat and shotgun fulfills my image of 'Doc' that I have always imagined. You've got to get a BLACK COWBOY HAT. The hat with the shotgun makes you unbeatable as you will find out @ the OK Corral
As Wyatt Earp said that "Doc was a dentist, the most skillful gambler and the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun that I ever knew." Earp knew what he was talkin' about.
You look like one dangerous dude partner and I can't imagine you without that hat as you sent many to Boot Hill. Get more pictures in your black hat and any gun you can find...this will make this part of the trip a huge highlight Doc.
Lovin' it!!

Remember well, when Rick & I, with two of our children, Jan & RIki, went with Mom & Dad (your buddy, Bill), to the OK Corral, in Tombstone, many years ago. It was a great day!
