Black Mesa State Park, Ok
May 2020
It is soooo good to be back on the road again. This state park is quite remote- in the corner of OK, close to KS and CO- so we went to the tri-corner marker:
We are in the Great Plains- it is ranch grazing land, pivot irrigation land and grasslands, and not much else. We are seeing wildlife again:
And there were a few things to visit- Dinosaur Tracks – pretty cool!
and Autograph Rock, which is on the Sante Fe Trail, is a National Historic Site, and it on private property on a ranch 15 miles from the main road. We called an received permission to visit with the casual warning that they had just branded calves and they might be a bit agitated- okie dokie, what does that mean exactly? Well, they mooed and mooed, and glared and glared and then surrounded the truck- I guess we looked like the food wagon!
This cliff face has hundreds of engravings done by travelers on the Sante Fe Trail- Cimarron Branch.
They were done by people migrating, trading and soldiers in the mid-1880s. A very special place where you could really feel the history.
Out geocaching, we were led to this shepherd’s cave pre- WWI.
Our Home Is Here...Today... 
Glad to see that you are moving again and finding places to visit and stay.
Not too much happening here. No longer have our pool. Had it demolished this week…too expensive at this stage of our lives and Adam put in an above the ground one. So we will have options. City pools are closed for the summer. State parks not open yet. Outdoor dining only. Phillip is doing well, just an episode of conjunctivitis, no fever, lung issues and still has his sense of smell!!!
Take care and stay safe!!!
