Update
We have been off the grid for awhile. We prefer camping at public parks which don't have WiFi or even cell coverage--but tonight we are at the Gunsmoke RV park in Dodge City. First night in a long while without a lake. (but there is WiFi and laundry)
We came into Dodge City today hoping it was more than just Hollywood Hype. I had read about a Kansas Historical Center which turned into a non thing. So we went to the visit center. When I said I wanted REAL Dodge City history she was at a lost (most people go straight to the Boot Hill Museum and Cemetery) so she called in Charlie. Turns out he does walking tours of the town and even though it wasn't a scheduled day he said we would take us--and some other people who happened to be there. It was amazing. One of the best things that happened to us this trip. And he does it for free. Donations go for materials he sends out to school kids.
