Day 6 Monday July 2, 2007 Total Mileage 295 Miles

Day Six of the trip started out with breakfast, and showers and then cleaning up the rv and packing up, and leaving Gunsmoke Campground. We then drove down the road to Downtown Dodge City Kansas to the Boot Hill Museum. It was more a small section of the town bringing back the wild west, the rest of the town was modern and a surprise. We did the Boot Hill gift shop and museum and saw a short film, then off to the Boot Hill Cemetary, looking at the headstones and reading the stories on the signs, very neat stuff.

We watched as Corey went through the trials and tests to become a deputy, then he took his oath and got his star pinned on him. One part of the oath was "I Swear Not To Swear". Kelly was too afraid and little to do that part. We then went into a saloon and had some Sassparilla (root beer), very cold and very refreshing. Saw old shops of the Old west, a printers shop where we had a personalized wanted poster made for Becky. Then we went outside at the picnic tables waiting for the gunfight to begin.

The gunfight between the Sheriff and his Deputies and the bad guys was pretty much even, it all started with a fist fight, one guy flying over another guys head, then all heck broke out, guns blazings, shots ringing out. In the end right when the bad guy was about to take out the Deputy the little old lady who owned a shop on the corner came out with her huge shotgun out, and BLASTED the bad guy to the cheers of the ground, and then the Saloon dancing girl came out.

We left Dodge City Kansas and headed South crossing the Oklahoma State line at 3:29, then on to Texas crossing that state line at 4:14. We stopped in Perrytown Texas for money and gas then on to Palo Duro Canyon State Park for some camping in the canyons.
