Yesterday afternoon two friends came by and got me to take a cruse around our beautiful Wolf Creek Park area. This park is located about 20 miles from my home in Perryton, Texas. It covers many acres, although some of it is owned by private owners. However, most all of it is open for public viewing of the beautiful sights of nature. The many roads winding all through the park are cliché, and nice to travel on. The high mountain-type hills are mostly seen as straight walls of stone surrounded by trees and grass. The flat valley areas are a roaming place for many wild life. The picture I have posted today is some of about one hundred of a flock of wild turkey’s. Darkness was starting to fall, and some of the pictures I will be posting will be somewhat dark. A nice size lake is centered in this interesting place of natural beauty. As late as it is in the season, October, 8, 2017, many campers were still enjoying some time of peace and quite of nature.
We never got out of our car once as there is no need to walk in the areas where you can see all the wildlife. In fact, it probably would not be allowed to walk around in the private areas. The county owned property is open to all visitors, and offers a lot of accommodations. A large restaurant is enjoyed by many. While on our short time of site-seeing, we took pictures of elk, turkeys, deer, and some lovely scenery.We saw a badger, but it was too far away, and with the darkness already setting in, we didn’t get a picture. It swiftly ran into the bushes. It’s amazing how a short time of driving around the areas of God’s most interesting places of nature, can lift one’s spirits, and make them feel free from all the bad news. Sometimes it’s a must for us to get away.
I will be putting more pictures of the wild animals, and scenery on my blog each day for awhile. I would like to do them all at once, but haven’t mastered that yet. I might add that some dinosaur skeletons have been excavated from some of the walls of this natural area, and have been reconstructed and displayed at the Museum of The Plains, Perryton’s wonderful place of memories. It also is a place that many people, both far and near, find most interesting. Welcome signs are out every day of the week. One cannot leave that place without feeling more appreciative of their ancestors. It also carries a modern, pleasant, atmosphere of calling for a celebration. We have many events going on there all through the year. I encourage all who have not joined the membership of this community “place of pride.” to do so now. The yearly dues are minimal, and offers so much. Some of Perryton’s nicest people are donating many hours of work and friendship to this place of special attention.
God Bless
