Microsoft Remembers Trekking To Mount Wichita Summit


Only two photos showed up today in the daily Microsoft OneDrive Memories from this Day email. Both photos were of the same subject.

Mount Wichita.

The only mountain to be found for miles and miles and miles at my current Wichita Falls location.

Mount Wichita is a manmade mountain, made from the silt dredged from Sikes Lake, back in, I think, the 1990s.

Sikes Lake is once again in dire need of being dredged. It would be a real good thing to add a companion mountain peak to the currently solo Mount Wichita.

Mount Wichita is located a couple miles from Sikes Lake but is only a few feet from Lake Wichita.

Lake Wichita is also a manmade lake which is in dire need of dredging.

Lake Wichita is much bigger than Sikes Lake. I suspect several mountains could be made from the dredging of Lake Wichita.

This could amount to being a small mountain range. The Wichita Mountain Range.

Could be a possible tourist attraction.

It has been several years since I have made the trek to the summit of Mount Wichita. That last time I did so, the trail seemed too treacherous. That, and I was attacked by a swarm of biting insects.
