This past weekend Garrett and I went camping at the Wichita Mountains in southwest Oklahoma. This was my first real OK trip and it was filled with roaming buffalo, prairie dogs eating white bread and a hamburger the size of a pie pan with a side of
freedom fries. Here are the pictures with my added insight...of course.
The Wichita
Mountains Wildlife Refuge is 3 hours north of Ft. Worth outside of Lawton, OK. As we made our way to the camp site, we spotted a heard of buffalo grazing at the visitor's center and then noticed one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen in my life.
Garrett digitally trying to capture the sunset...really the best way to see it is in person, but here I got with my try at sunset photography.
Again, this location is ONLY three hours from Ft. Worth and about 6 from Austin.
So we turned our heads around during the sunset and noticed a full rainbow. I had never seen a rainbow that went from horizon to horizon. It was AMAZING!
The truck deserved a shot with the rainbow, it was our trusty steed this weekend.
Ok, so the buffalo are everywhere. They have free
reign over this place. They make a grumbling sound and will pretty much just stand there while you gawk at their beauty and awe.
I realized why they were almost extinct, they are a pretty easy shot. Even I could
probably shoot one and hit the target dead on...but I would never do that.
They look like they are wearing a sweater and no pants.
Picture Perfect Landscape, I love nature.
You cannot swim, but the weather wasn't that bad so I wasn't dying to jump into this river. But
definitely contemplated it.
Brace yourself for
prairie dog cuteness overload!!
A very county-like family fed the
prairie dog some white bread,
mmm yum, it's favorite I'm sure.
And they stand up like little
meerkat or squirrels.
Since
everyone feeds them, they are not scared of humans. They get all the high fructose corn
syrup a
prairie dog could dream of.
This was taken at the top of the mountain we hiked up...well not the top...but close to it. It was covered in boulders which were beautiful.

After the hike and then a picnic we drove out to
Meers, Oklahoma to have the infamous
Meers Burger. We waited in line for at least 30-45 minutes for a longhorn beef burger.
We sat down ordered some beers and got to reading the menu...and there it was...the first thing on there:
FREEDOM FRIES
The Meers burger comes in a pie pan because that is how big it is, Garrett and I split one so this is half of one whole burger. The longhorn beef was pretty tasty.
But the Freedom Fried SUCKED. Tasted like they came from
DQ. I was mature enough to eat onion rings though.
This was
probably the best part: Coconut Cream Pie with
meringue topping
They also brew their own beer, which only comes in a 22 ounce bottle to help you gobble down that big ass burger.
By the name of my blog, I'm sure you can tell I like animal tush...so for my own enjoyment: Buffalo Tush (with huge balls-which I don't like)
Finally, our
delicious berry margaritas in reused chick-
fil-a cups to hid it's contents (no
alcohol allowed)
