Last Day of our Road Trip...

Well it's the last day of our Summer road trip. First stop is Dodge City, which turned out to pretty much closed. The visitor center isn't open on weekends, which I think is pretty darn stupid! And you couldn't get in to the Boot Hill till 1PM. The Boot Hill is a recreated western town. We seen several  other visitor's to the town who were also disappointed. But Charlie did have fun climbing on a train engine that was parked there but we don't know why it was there since there was no information on it.
Back up plan if we couldn't find anything to do in Dodge was to go see Fort Larned. Which when you think of a fort you think of a cluster of buildings with a wall around, turns out not all forts had a wall around um.


Last stop  Capulin Volcano. It was real cloudy and while at the top of teh Volcano we could see it was raining in the distance.  But the view was still amazing you could see for miles all around you! The hike up and around the rim was beautiful and not that difficult. I was kind glad it was cloudy so we weren't burning up on the walk up and around the rim. The walk down into the volcano was nice but after the walk around the rim it just couldn't compete with the views
