Dodge City, KS
50 miles seems like nothing now that we have been on the bike for over a month. It was a very quick and easy ride today into Dodge City. We had our first of three visits with Arrowhead West, an organization that serves people of all ages with developmental disabilities. A fellow teammate, Trevor, and I hung out all afternoon with a client named Kelvin. He was amazing to talk to and was so happy that we were there to spend time with him. We ended up splitting the cost of a Journey of Hope t-shirt for him and he had a grin from ear-to-ear. We stayed at the Community College which had an air conditioned gym! I would take air conditioning over a real bed any day of the trip! We visited the Boot Hill living museum for dinner. Dodge City was the center for the cattle industry in 1900’s and the museum was created to preserve what the city was like at that time. We had an amazing home cooked meal followed by a show that explained how life was in Dodge City. It was very interesting to learn about the industry and see how much the cattle industry has evolved over the years. I cleaned the bike up a bit and then went to bed.
