My mom is from there as well. My grandmother grew up on a farm just outside of Mt Hope in the 1930s and 40s.

Did they ever say how the one person that was trapped died?
I've been keeping up with that. There have been no reports of how the death occurred. The only intel I got was that the victim was a volunteer tour guide.
When I was a kid in the 70's the Mainstreet in Dodge was pretty cool, there were several old west Acts, gunslingers, saloon dancers, etc. Over the years it dwindled to nothing. Just a place where the Old west used to be.
Now it is the Modern West, Feed Lots and Packing Plants, not much to look at, till it gets to the Grocery Store.
The area is still riddled with Crime though, that is exciting.
Did the mine yesterday afternoon, fairly interesting. The Yoder restaurant didn't disappoint whatsoever as usual. The extra tour back into the actual mining part where they went into more detail of the process and history was MUCH better than the rest of the normal tour. The displays and walk through tour part was "eh". The Civil Defense displays and fall out shelter history from the 50's and 60's was interesting. The massive size of it was interesting as well. 50a alone dedicated to storage. This was the highlight pic of the day though lol.

Small world Dennis. I’m from Hutch! You took my boys hunting with OP!
Awesome! Love taking those kids out to the field!
I liked you before learning about your wifey!
My wife is from Nickerson, and I grew up in Hutch. Worked at “Spaceworks” for Cosmosphere in late 80’s before college.(Salthawk Class of 1989) I tell everyone it’s worth the trip to see the mine and Cosmosphere. The SR-71 is still a fav. I used to fly home from TX in a Cessna 172. Got over airport one trip and that was sitting on the ramp. Nxt trip it was mounted at 30/30 bank and nose down but wrapped in blue protective wrap as they built the structure over and around aircraft. They towed that plane down 11th street from airport. Dad said biggest parade Hutch has ever had attended.
Is the city drinking water still so salty that water heaters have to be changed out every couple of years like back in the 80's and 90's? It's been that long since visiting there.
