First stop this morning was the Dalton Gang Hideout. In the museum, we realized this late western gang had actually robbed a train in Tulare CA as well as being active in this area. They had a tunnel between the house and the barn, which the kids enjoyed going through.
Next up was Dodge City, and Boot Hill Museum. More interesting history of the period and the impact of buffalo hunting on the Indians. The kids ended up in Jail!
They got released for good behavior, and even were allowed a "Sarsaparilla" in one of the "Saloons".

Kansas was windy and the RV has some striking similarities with a kite, making driving in high wind a challenge!
We ended the day with dinner with some old friends in Wichita. Wan and Mi Ying say hello to the rest of the Smith Family. They were hosting some visiting scholars from China, and we had a great dumpling/Chinese dinner with them.
