Tonight's picture shows the 40 foot hole as we were leaving it. You can see the grassy patch that I came down (about the middle of the top of the picture) and the yellow lichen on the rocks to the right to help to get it in perspective. This is taken from up much higher than where last night's was taken. The pool of water that you see in tonight's picture can't even be seen in last night's picture and last night's pool can hardly be seen in this one. It's a very interesting place; we think it's one of Oklahoma's best kept secrets.
We played cards at our house tonight and Joan told us that one of the guys who were rescued at the reserve last Saturday was hauled out of the 40 foot hole! He fell and broke his ankle and couldn't get out. They had to take him out with a helicopter. Goodness. We didn't even hear the helicopter, so it must have been after we were there. As soon as we climbed out of there we went to Meer's Restaurant (a real hole in the wall that was moved to the spot where it sits in 1902).
It's been a great week for us. The weather has been beautiful. We've gotten our trip to Hawaii pretty well in shape. We're on hold for some condo time, but I think it will happen. At least we have tickets and friends who live there who won't leave us on the street. The beach is always nice, too! I feel great. I thank God for keeping us safe as we travel and even as we hike. I thank Him for health for us and for our family and friends. We are richly blessed.
