Adventures With Ruby

After we left Devils Tower we weren't sure which route to take but we ended up going to Dodge City, Kansas. Dodge City is an interesting little town and they embrace their rich history in buffalo hunts, cattle drives, cowboys and outlaws. 

We found a campsite that was reasonable but nothing special.  But before the lake dried up, it was the place to be as it is still called Water Sports Campground and RV.

We paid a visit to the visitors center and signed up for the trolley tour for the next morning. 

Just down the street from the visitors center is the museum. It is housed in buildings that are replicas of old downtown Dodge City on Front Street. Also, you can walk through old Boot Hill. 

In the evening we experienced a "shootout" to give you a feel of the old west. 

We also enjoyed the trolley tour the next morning. It was very informative. 

~Sun Dial. There are two side by side. Between them was the line separating Mountain and Central time zones~

We were a little unsure what route to take since we were limited in time but I had mentioned that someday I would like to visit The Pioneer Woman's store. So after Glenn looked at the map, we took off for Pawhuska, OK. 

On our way we stayed at John Martin State Park in Colorado. 

The Mercantile didn't disappoint. I loved looking at all the pretty stuff. 

I even got to see her husband Ladd. Yes, he is good looking......

.....but I have my own cowboy.

After leaving Pawhuska, we made our way south and met with some MAPS friends. Thanks Beth and Larry. We enjoyed our visit. 

We still needed to make our way south and stayed at pretty Lake Eufala for the evening. Even though our campsite wasn't right on the lake, it was still pretty. 

We still were not quite south enough; still not within a days drive from Mauriceville, so we found another lake to chill out for a couple of days, Lake O' the Pines. Then, it is back to a stationary life for awhile, and doctors appointments. 

As our summer travels come to a close, we are so thankful for the opportunity to have traveled with our little camper, Retro Ruby. She has served us well!  The Lord has blessed us and protected us!   We have had an amazing adventure!
