Just a normal fall weekend

on the first weekend of October

We left out of Oklahoma city around 5:30 am and headed to the Wichita mts.

Our goal was to hike Elk Mountain, which we never made it to.

Our other goal was to get to the mountains before sun up, which we did.

As we were driving thru the wildlife area Lynn seen a couple of elk off to the side of the road.

We pulled over to take pics but it was just to dark. They were headed toward the north so

we took the Meers turn off and head north.

I remembered that the Parallel Forest was right off of hwy 115 and there was a parking area for hikers.

This is where we would start or hike.

we could here the elk bugling in the distance in front of us.

We would spend 3 hours hiking toward the sound and get some really great pics and video.

Which you will see in the video.

Now the part of the hike was this.

I was setting up the tri pod to take a pic of us on a big rock and Lynn said hey don't move so

what did I do I turned and spooked them

So here is a pic of Lynn on the rock

I took this pic while she was telling not to move

and she was taking this pic of what was coming up behind me

and this is the pic I was setting up for that I scared off the couple

We spent 6 hours out hiking and then went down to check on the house.

we decorated for fall and headed back to OKC.

Back to OKC and a good nights rest, because Sunday morning was going to be spent

with ElizaBeth out on the lake for her first ride in the Prate Paddle Boat.

With Selfies taken 

and help un loading the boat

and safety gear on

 we were off
