Everyone we met said  they were glad I had returned to Kansas...Several asked about my dog TOTO!!!...  Here is the house that belonged to my Aunty M before the Twister...........

Always the farmer.. We watched harvest begin across miles and miles of crops. Corn and Sorghum ( Milo) fields are everywhere, as far as the eye could see; and in Kansas, that is quite a distance.  Everyone we met is praying for rain...irrigated  crops  looked fine.  Others are parched and burnt..

 This is the first time Gord and I had ever seen sorghum grain ( RED and JAWAR) so it was interesting to see it growing and to read that: 

•  Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop grown in the world and is very drought resistant. 
• Sorghum is a gluten-free grain.

Unlike our prairie towns, every one we passed   through had MEGA Elevators regardless of how small the town or how near to each other.








Elevators are accompanied by huge bins.... we also saw them in farm yards. 


 GET THE HELL OUTTA DODGE!!!!!.... We ignored this old adage and spent a great day in Dodge City....  featured in that old western,  Gun Smoke.  
Bring back memories????

Cowboys were buried in shallow graves with their boots on.....hense Boot Hill!

Barely in Dodge and already in trouble! 

We toured the various shops stopping for a beer at the Saloon.....complete with a skillful, informative piano player who shared lots of history with us in between songs.

 I am writing this Blog from the Wyatt Earp Room, down the hall from the Miss Kitty and  Doc Holiday rooms... at the Boot Hill B& B. 
Tomorrow we will cross Oklahoma on our way to Texas... Will Blog from THE ALAMO!!!
