END of YEAR 2 Day Trip

Could not pass up the chance to take a drive and enjoy the great weather for the end of the year
So we took off and drove to SE Kansas and into Oklahoma
It got up to 72degrees Thursday was an absolutely gorgeous day
We drove thru Medicine Lodge and the Gyp Hills and saw these big ranches
with mile after mile of buffalo
We saw so many deer and armadillos
Sad to say that the water level of the lakes is still critical but recent rain has helped a little.

We stopped at "Glass Mountain or Gloss Mountain"
they are so called because of the selenite
there is a trail up the side of it
there are some stairs that are pretty steep and in need of repair
and then almost to the top had to climb rocks... but I MADE IT ! ! !
and then when on top it is flat and to circle it probably a 1/2 mile hike
What a view from the top....afraid the pics dont' really show the depth tho

We took several back roads and found alot of old abandon houses
which I cannot resist

click on buffalo to see rest of the pictures

Took Another Drive Today

We took another drive today
Went up thru Haven and Yoder and around Cheney Lake
Its hard to believe as hot and dry as it is that
there are still beautiful wild flowers and weeds blooming
Saw bunches of Gold Finch some Buzzards
Was a Fun Day

Had Cabin Fever This Afternoon

We had cabin fever this afternoon so decided to take a short drive
The temperature stayed right on 109 most of the time
but once I looked up and it jumped to 113
We drove south of town to the Ninnescah River
It is sure dry but we saw alot of Gar and Carp and a few Egrets
Even as dry as it is the river still looked pretty
