Not gonna lie, this is pretty cool. They have passports and you get stamps for each state or territory you visit. Some phoned it in like OK, AK, HI but others have cool experiences and some great swag. Plus the Thunderbirds did an airshow while we were there. Be sure to watch the people when that last jet goes over 😁.
It is extra hot, and thankfully they are taking it seriously. Free water stations everywhere. Air conditioning in almost every structure. We're getting ready for the big show on the 4th!

We were out walking our dachshund tonight and happened to notice a couple of what I believe are Mississippi Kites setting up in the tree watching us closely.

This section takes us along a narrow finger on the north side of Burnt Draw with some pretty good exposure. Down below you can see the old cedar grove, the cave, and Greg’s Arrow.
