Goode

Kansas ghost towns are what happens when the railroad changes its mind and the wheat stops paying.

Donald Ray Goode (born June 21, 1951), is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He played for the San Diego Chargers from 1974 to 1979 and for the Cleveland Browns from 1980 to 1981. He played high school football at Booker T. Washington High School and he played college football at the University of Kansas. He was selected in the first round (15th overall) by the Chargers in the 1974 NFL draft.

The on-the-ground condition of Goode is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Goode is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
