Tour day 21

Today started out great. Temperature around 55 degrees. No wind to speak of. Wind picked up late in the day but did not impact it negatively. Sunny all day. Here's the weather report and itinerary.





It's back on the freeway but the roads were in great shape for a smooth ride.











Yes more fields that didn't end. More plants to process pigs or cattle. Yes more watering rigs for the fields. A road that goes on forever. Trains that dont end. Ranch's down all roads. Aw Kansas. You think riding up these hills it will crest and be downhill. Wrong. Just another one. Riding down these roads that never end or so it seems. Well today was special in more ways than one. The first sag ( rest area ) was at The Dalton gang hideout. Crossroads picked up the tab. How nice. Very interesting and educational. They were train robbers who were successful at that. Tried a bank robbery and got killed. Should have stuck to trains. Here are some pics. 














That Sohrab waving at us and yes that's a real gun that guy is holding. Has a holster and walks around with that strapped on him. Kansas. Was proud of that real replica. Had a tunnel to his sister's house if had to make a fast getaway.  Very cool stuff. Headed out to Dodge City from there.








Yes more fields, windmills, roads that didn't end and roads I was on that seemed not to end. But we were visiting Dodge City and Boot Hill. Went through the museum and the graveyard. Lots of history of the area. So much to take in. Here we go. 
























It was an adventurous day. Just what I needed to be doing is walking around after an 84 mile ride. Oh well. We are doing it again tomorrow. 85 miles. So it's time to bid you ado. Check out relive to see the ride. Oh by the way we are heading to Great Bend.


Hope you enjoyed and again for following
