Should I have checked the turn being called in 2 places in this raggedy flop? What if only 1 person called the turn and I hit a blank on river. I check and call or fold a bet on river in most situations?? Thanks in advance.

The turn bet is fine, especially when you're out of position. As often as not, you'll pick up the pot with a bet here. And, as you demonstrated, it's an easy fold when you're raised.

I think the turn bet is all right. Your opponents could peel with a lot of different things on this rag flop. Betting does give them another chance to fold their AT or whatever they cold-called with (and hopefully it's not two clubs).

Reads could change this, though. Versus loose-passives who love to play ace-rag and call down with it, for instance, I might just check-fold (which isn't entirely giving up, by the way, as it's possible no one will bet).

What Im wondering is if I bet turn and get 1 caller, river comes a blank. You check, he bets, would you call your K high or fold?? ANd this is in typical situation with no reads.

Yes - and then folded if someone bet.

Both players called 2-cold PF and then called again on a rag flop. At the Party 2/4, you can be pretty sure that 1 of those 2 players is going to showdown against you. I would possibly bet again against 1 flop caller (depending on a read) but leading into 2 players again seems like spewing to me. I made my PF/Flop plays and on that turn you need to be done - check/fold.

I think you're losing a lot of money if you're check-calling rivers with K-high.
