Back to the Future, er, Our Trip...

...or, time to hit Quartz Mountain!

We continued our trip south and made it to Quartz Mountain State Park. It was a gorgeous day, as you can see in the photos, so we spent some time walking around the lake and my man even got in some wicked rock climbing.


I even managed to find some paddleboats! And I discovered that it's much easier to operate a paddleboat when you're nine than when you're twenty-nine. It doesn't hurt that, when you're nine, usually your parent does most of the paddling. I did feel obligated to do my fair share ;-)


Of course, we didn't forget the purpose of the trip. On our way out of the park, we found a historical marker!


And, though it may not be a historical marker, it's one of the coolest things we saw that day:


So, I got to see the place that Katie-Sister went for SummerArts every year. Looks like lots to do and a place worth returning to! I think, if we'd had time, there was a lot to see and do.

And in our next installment, Altus, Medicine Park, and home! I might actually get to the end of this one-day adventure :-)
