The 'foot-hills'

In February of this year we loaded up the van and headed to the Wichita Mountains.

For those of you who don’t know, the Wichita Mountains are actually the ‘foot-hills’ of the Rockies. They pop up just north of Wichita and dive back into the landscape through the pan-handle of Texas. The Great Plans Museum, in Canyon Texas, has a neat display that actually shows the Mountain chain as it dives into the earth and resurfaces again. (They also have a rather cool old car display that almost got me landed in jail… but that is another story… and another slide! LOL)

It was a day when we some of us were off of work, life had been kinda’ hectic, and we all just needed to ‘get away.’ Cosme, Lynn & Kim, David & Brandon, and myself; all loaded up around 10:00 and spent the day just walking around, relaxing, and eating ‘small town’ style. It was a memory captured in pictures…

Enjoy!

Good memories and good pictures!
I especially like the one of the ducks in the water with the reflection...looks like twinkling stars!
We always enjoyed a good Meer's burger at the Wichita Mountains.

So what's with the "buy me" thingy? And did Lynn really think he was holding that rock steady?!

Michelle: Not today... :o) It is a funny story though... and I wasn't the only one that almost went to jail!

Karen Prince & Juliek: Thanks... the Wichita Mountains are always a nice get away.

Roxana: I have no idea what the 'buy me' thingy is... I will look into it.
