Yesterday, the day known as Sunday, I drove to Lake Wichita Park to do some high speed walking.
Upon arrival, in the shadow of Mount Wichita, I was surprised at how much the lake has shrunk, exposing a wide beach.
When I started seeing photo worthy scenes I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone. And it was not there. I forgot the phone at home. So, no photos.
But, today, the day after Sunday, known as Monday, I did remember my phone when I drove to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area to do some high speed hilly hiking.
And so, with that phone in hand, I was able to photo document the Hoodoo Cairn you see above. This may be the most complex feat of Hoodoo engineering I have come across in all the years I have been photo documenting Hoodoos.
Make note of the balance beam in the middle, teetering above a flat rock base. And above that two small rocks acting as bracing.
In all my years of seeing these type constructions I have never seen one in the process of being constructed.
The outer world temperature got down to 58 last night. It was 80 and windy by the time I got to the bluffs at around 45 minutes before noon.
The air-conditioner has not cycled on yet today. This is the first time in a long time that that has happened.
A harbinger of cooler days to come.
It is going to be so nice to be back in long pants again...
