The Reynolds' Wrap Up: The Lonely Mountain of Oklahoma

Turns out Oklahoma has a mountain! We took a day trip up to the Wichita Mountain in southern Oklahoma. It was truly bizarre, flat prairie and then a random mountain that is apparently lost or has migrated. Here we are looking unorganized at the tallest point in Oklahoma.

And what would any tourist destination be without a quick pic of every child, each less enthusiastic and more awkward than the previous?

A little further down is a place called The Holy City which is home to the longest continuously running Easter pageant in America. The founder thought the land geologically resembles Jerusalem and built several scenes from Jesus' life along with this neat little church-thing.
