Things Are Getting Rocky

We arrived at Inks Lake State Park yesterday.  Just on our one hour drive north the landscape got much rockier.  The dirt is red and there are now red rock formations starting to appear along the way.  Our site is nice and the park is pretty empty, which is always nice.  Today we went for a hike and then took the kayak out for the first time. Yesterday when we were out checking out the area, we met the nicest couple from Tucson.  They have convinced us that it's a place worth looking at so we may do a drive by on our way to Phoenix in early May.  Last night we were sitting outside and something black ran through the trees right next to our campsite, which Lilly took off after, fortunately she did not catch it. No idea what it was.  Lots of signs about leaving the rattlesnakes and cottonmouth snakes alone.  In this case I will follow all the rules!  I have to give a shout out to my niece Elena, who helped me set up this blog, she won an award for her IT talent for the state of Wisconsin.  She is only a sophomore in High School!  We will stay here for 4 more nights and then it's off to New Mexico.
