Looking For A Lull

I knew I'd love it out here but I didn't realize how much.  It's awesome knowing that you will see the sun, you won't have to shovel, and tomorrow will be amazing.  The sunrise and sunsets here are spectacular almost every day and the mountains change color making the landscape appear different every time you look. I'll take this time to dump a bunch of pictures.  I apologize for any duplicates. Rex Allen statue in Wilcox Plaque in front of the Rex Allen statue.  His horse Co Co is also buried in this park. Rex Allen Museum and the Marty Robins Museum Rex's first guitar from the Sears Catalog.  He decorated it himself. The Cowboy Hall of Fame is also part of the Rex Allen Museum.
