Quartz Mountain Hike

We have been hiking the past two days. Michelle hiked with us at Quartz Mountain. We had a beautiful rock climb and then went in to Altus for tacos at a taqueria on the square. The only taqueria (ever?) which does not sell beer. We took some back for the campfire. Said goodbye to Michelle the next day and headed to Caprock State Park near Turkey, TX. Will post more pics of the second hike later…
