FALL BREAK GIRLS TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS

Carma, Glenna, Holly and Marki took a day in the mountains trip during Fall Break. We did a little GEO CACHING before we went for a hike. One place we found 3 caches was on the top of Mt. Scott. Caches on the Wichita Wildlife Refuge are places and not things. Virtual caches. On the top of Mt. Scott we found three different medal markers. We also found a cache over the South side of the top. It was a fun place to take a look at the country side toward Lawton.

After the geocaching activity we headed up Elk Mountain. It was a great hike for us. Several of bodies and bones are beginning to show the wear and tear on our old bodies. Knees, feet and hips are worn out from the years of pounding them into the hard cement floors. Thank goodness for Aleve and other anti-inflammatories! BUT WE MADE IT TO THE TOP and sat and enjoyed the air force planes doing their maneuvers over the Mt's.

Marki figured out how to take a picture of the entire group. Way to go MOM! She did it. It only took about 3 tries.

Before we went to eat lunch we stopped at the outdoor Easter Pageant to show Holly where the longest running easter pageant is being done. We hope to come back when they have the play during the Easter Season.

When we arrived a caravan of OLD cars were there. Everyone headed out looking and talking to owners of the cars. It was a treat to see all the old cars.

MEERS was a new adventure for Holly...Actually she had never been to the wildlife refuge before either. So it was all first for her. Everyone ate and shared a cobbler and were stuffed.

Medicine Park was a great adventure for the group. Carma and Holly hadn't really spent much time there. Glenna had come to this area throughout her life. Marki comes regulary! We had a great spring break together. I hope we can do this again sometime! I bet we will!
