The New Mexico route.
Aliens are everywhere!
One even tries to get fresh with Judy!
They deliver.
And phone home.
The Texas route.
In Bridgeport, the Stagecoach capitol of Texas.
Decatur's "perfectly" designed courthouse.
World's first Junior College.
We visited Ike's place on Veteran's Day--seemed appropriate.
The birth house, in Denison.
And, of course, the pose.
The Oklahoma route.
We spent a glorious fall day touring this site.
On the trail to one of the many springs.
Buffalo Springs
Antelope Springs
Little Niagra
This artesian well has a very strong sulfur smell,
but folks drink the water for the minerals.
We had a hard time posing for pictures because of the smell.
Overlooking the Park.
This portion was Platt National Park from 1906 to 1976.
The Chickasaw Tribe gave/sold the lands surrounding the many springs
to the federal government to protect them.
In 1902 there were over 100,000 visitors taking
the "cure" from the mineral rich waters.
The Arkansas route.
The diamonds we DID NOT find.
You find one?!
I did not, even after crawling around on a beautiful day.
However, it was Friday the 13th.
We think that this is our 355th National Park visited.
The birthplace home, and National Park site.
The Clinton Foundation bought, restored, and
donated the site to the National Park service.
Bill moved here when he was about 4 years old.
