WELCOME

Welcome. The Two Leos (My Trusty Companion and I) are glad you stopped by. I have created this site to document and share our adventures as we travel around the United States. In 2011, these travels were limited to weekend outings and vacations. We used these to explore areas which will be visited more extensively in the future. Beginning in 2012, we expanded our travels as we transition to the full-time RV lifestyle. Check back from time to time to see our wanderings.

Mister Dillon! Mister Dillon!

The Leos are now in Dodge City, Kansas. We rolled in about 2:00 this afternoon, and parked for the night at the Gunsmoke Trav-L-Park. After unhitching the trailer, we took a drive through town, on Wyatt Earp Boulevard and ran into the man himself...

Today, (and every day) Marshall Earp was on patrol at the corner of Wyatt Earp Boulevard and Central Street. According to the plaque, Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was a Dodge City Lawman from 1876 through 1879.
 
 As we ambled down the Boulevard, we entered the Trail of Fame. Here we found stars commemorating the famous in Dodge City History.





Of course, Marshall Earp's star was at the head of the Trail



Leo started his walk down the Trail, but seemed to be unimpressed by Big Nose Kate's star on the Trail. Perhaps he didn't know she was Doc Holiday's long time lady friend.














But further on down the Trail, he found a favorite...

As we headed back to our truck, Leo found one stray that needed to be rounded up.

But, try as he would, he couldn't get this one to move on down the trail. So I guess we'll need to track down Mister Dillon for some help.

Nothing like the wild west!! Think the coolness of it is lost on the dog though :-)
