Pawnee Fork Crossing

It was not to far from here that when I was young we spent many a day fishing...As a young christian, being taught to catch fish for our diet was an essential....Along with the tales and quiet fishing that I remember so well was the story of an Indian. One who's love that could never be, to the daughter of a chief, mainly because her marriage was fixed upon a brave warrior who had won the rights to her...After her marriage he climb the highest cliff and through himself to the floor below, and soon became to be called "Lovers Leap" to this day...

Dodge City Depot


This Depot looks the same today as it did in the 1800's ....And still in use...Take a trip on the Am Track and visit America from atop the observation deck and see beyond the back roads and highways to a part of the U.S. that most people don't ever get to see.....
