Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

A couple of weekends ago, myself and daughter went camping with a group to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Oklahoma.
It has been a couple of years since I have been camping. Now I can't wait to go again. It was a very enjoyable experience. The Refuge is an amazing place. The mountain range is said to be one of the oldest on earth. At one time it was taller then Mt Everest. The US government created the Refuge in 1901.
In 1907, 15 Bison from the New York Zoological Society were donated. Currently the herd is kept around 600 animal.
In 1911, 5 Rocky Mountain Elk where transplanted from Wyoming. The indigenous Elk had been exterminated by the late 1800's. In 1912 another 15 Elk were brought in. Currently the elk are kept around 800 animals.
In 1927, 20 Texas Longhorns were introduced to the Refuge. These Longhorn were brought in to preserve the Longhorn from extinction in the US. Currently the Longhorns are around 280 animals.

Dallas Arts District

It has been awhile.

On Aug 20, I along with my wife went on an architectural tour of the Dallas Arts District. This is sponsored by The Dallas Arts District and the Dallas Center for Architecture. More info can be found here.
The tour is held 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, runs about 90 mins and costs $10 for adults.
It was an informative tour. I moved here two years ago from the Chicago area. Living anywhere for 45 years you get to know about the area and it's history, if you want to. I want to know more about this area and it's great to see they offer these types of tours.
