Posted by Liz McCoy Friday, May 16, 2008 View Comments

We heard the funniest thing on the radio this morning, the DJ announced the lunch menu for 3-4 differnt counties! How fun is that :)

Another p.o.i are the oil rigs you will see all across the Kansas landscape, I took a picture for you.

Oh this is great, our hotel had the brochure stand of attractions and one of them was for Emporia. I picked up a few for my family, it is fun to see your home town is a tourist attraction.

Dodge City

Posted by Liz McCoy View Comments

We stayed the night in Dodge City, KS at the travel lodge.

Our rating is a 2.5 out of 5.

We ate breakfast at a chilhood favorite Daylight Donuts. I'm hoping that the shop in Emporia is still there so I can get a pict. They used to have a big donut in the parking lot.

We woke up at 5:15 and it is 6:38 and we're getting the hell out of Dodge LOL!!!!

Sante Fe Trail

We stopped off on the side of the road for another "point of interest" this time to see the ruts the wagon trains, the pioneer men, women, and children, travelled crossing the country for more than 60 years.

Look closely in this picture for gully like indents in the terrain. Those are the trails there are four but from the angle I took the picture you probably onluy see three.

Just absolutely amazing to us to see the pioneer life upclose.

Feed Yards

There are many of these feed yards along our way. It is exciting to see the farms that supply this country up close and personal.

These feed yards are different than the vast open ranches of Colorado.

Oh the land of my birth :)

I'm so excited to have made it to KS. Our first stop is Dodge City, I had scheduled a visit to an overlook of the cattle stock yards. Believingly that will still come to pass.

The weather in eastern co an western ks ia phenomenal!!! This certainly is the weather I packed for :). You will notice that I'm not wearing my sweater (the only one I packed LOL). So now you all know I did bring more than one outfit hehehe.

Love ya

PS speaking of cattle...we're smalling them right now...YUCKY
