Sunrise at Cowley State Fishing Lake.  It feels like the trip starts today:

I hiked down to Cowley Waterfall:

More lake views:

I crossed into Oklahoma to motorcycle Kaw Lake:

The last stop of the day was Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge:

I ran the Eagle Roost Nature Trail:

Bird blind:

Another trail:

The last stop was the reason most people come to Salt Plains NWR: to dig for Selenite crystals.  The “road” out onto the salt flats was very rutted, so I parked here and decided to run the rest of the way:

I found an existing hole and continued working it:

I found dozens of Selenite crystals:

I overnighted at a gas station in Alva, Oklahoma.  See the trip map for today’s drive.
