Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
After visiting the Keystone Gallery we headed to Historic Scott Lake State Park. There is a day pass fee of $5 per vehicle to visit Scott Lake. Visitors can camp and hike at this state park. We particularly went to visit the El Cuartelejo site. This is the site of “the remains of the northernmost
Life has me a little behind on my normally scheduled posts. That being said, I hope you enjoy these photos from small Texas and Kansas towns that my wonderful husband took on the last trip that don’t really fit anywhere else. What do you think of analog photography? Let me know in the comments! Have
