Hiking
Today, my dad and I went on a hike. We set out with the intent of scouting out a place for a practice hike for Philmont. This trail that Dad had heard of was really pretty. It's by Swope Park, on Blue River Parkway. There were these massive limestone chunks (I try to capture them in pics, but it's hard) that were really cool. We encountered some climbers, practicing their holds on rock and improving their strength. It was a pleasant surprise: I had feared that my dad was dragging me on a boring outing, but I'm definitely glad I went. We also stopped by Lakeside Nature Center, but I forgot my camera in the car. Oh yeah, and I drove during the entire trip.

I realize swope park is filled with such wonderful terrain, such as the bluffs and the sort, in fact the head of the central park conservancy, the group that made central park what it is today from the crime/drug/trash filled and unmaintained one of the 60's-70's, said that the great thing about kc's parks is the natural bluffs and the sort, they had to dig all theirs out from deep in the ground back in the 19th century, which I find sorta ironic, since usually ppl connect the word kansas with flat, anyway, even though it does all look similar, your descriptions and the sort all lead me to think that may have been the... aaa, cant remember the name, but this one trail previously taken. And remember the glades one up by lake of the woods? I'd like to actually go along that one for pure amusement sometime.
