Yesterday, the Curious Souls decided to take the dog for a walk. We were looking for somewhere that we had not yet been before, so we chose the Pawnee National Grassland. There were two very short trails in the western part of the grassland near Crow Valley Recreation Area. We hiked them both in under an hour (I said very short, right?) and were left wanting more. So, eastward we went on our way to Pawnee Buttes . Along the way, we discovered the Cedar Creek Wind Farm and plenty of wide open space. After the Buttes, we looked at the map and discovered that we were only about 20 miles south of Nebraska. And, to seal the deal, we noticed that just over the border was also the highest point in the state. Here we are at the aptly named Panorama Point. While only 5,424 feet in elevation it did have some lovely, long, expansive views into the seemingly infinite plains around us. As far as either of us could remember, this is the first time we actually visited the highest
You two look to be having a fantastic time and I am thoroughly happy for you both. I hope you enjoy every moment! Even if you're ill it's better than working and you can still have a beer or ten in the mid-day hour.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Andrea and I might one day be able to do something similar then I remembered we couldn't because that would violate Andreas' master plan for our (my) life.
In case you are not familiar Andrea has a master plan for us (I really mean me) that can be summed up by saying that she is planning to keep me working, and saving as much money as possible along the way, with hollow promises of delayed gratification until I die. Effectivley milking my best years like some non renewable natural resource being bled dry. At which point she will buy a dozen cats and blow through the money earned during the best unfullfilled years of my life.
Did you know that it is legal in Arizona to beat your wife once a month?
