It's a hot lazy afternoon .... the heat of summer has arrived, which really isn't bad considering it is June and in prior years we've had temperatures in the 80's and 90's in early May. Before I moved here, my husband told me that the snakes didn't come out until Memorial Day, so that I wouldn't be afraid to go hiking. Once we moved here and were working to clear out trees and brush, I saw a snake in April. I didn't realize that the snakes came out when it got warm and that it had nothing to do with the date! I'm older and wiser now!
So we're staying indoors this afternoon until the heat subsides. Earlier in the day our guests strolled down Main Street and took photos of the highlights of the town. They have a son named Blaine and were looking for a sign on the Courthouse that said "Blaine County". The streets were quiet, the antique store wasn't open, but they enjoyed their walk and commented on the tile work on the Liberty Theatre and the architecture of some of the buildings on Main St. We ate dinner at the RNSP Lodge and walked down the hall to the lodge rooms to see the photographic display of the history of the Park and Watonga. They plan on visiting the TB Ferguson Museum and hiking at RNSP while they are in this area. It is always interesting to hear what visitors see and do and appreciate about this area, seeing it all from a different perspective. Between the Park and the history of Blaine County, we are a pretty good tourism destination, something that many people don't expect to find here! /Linda Barrett
