Camping Photos

Troy and I recently went camping at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. We set up camp as you can see in the photos below, with our little tent. (Don't worry we had electricity and FANS!) And my parents set up their RV nearby. We got to eat at the famous Meres Burger, twice! And once at the only other restaurant in town, which is also very good.





We went hiking on Saturday morning, and although it was only in the high 80's-low 90's by the end we were pretty hot. The trail map said it was 5.7 miles and the sign at the trailhead said 8 miles. We're not sure which it really was, but it took exactly 3 hours to hike. By the second hour I was ready to pass out! But it was beautiful hike with many trees, lakes and wildlife, including a herd of buffalo.

The prarie dogs live in close proximity to the buffalo herds, and we got to see both up close:



Overall it was a fun weekend. I think I'm ready to go back!
