Cimarron National Grassland

So years ago and I’m taking when Keltin and I first started dating, we visited the Cimarron National Grassland. I wanted to go back and explore a bit more. Over the holidays, Bear and I had a chance to go out to the grasslands and we had a good – if windy day – exploring.
