Boiling Springs State Park, Oklahoma
A trip to Boiling Springs State Park on a cold winter day. I walked to the N. Canadian River through a forest with some really cool and old trees. I wanted to do additional hikes, but the weather turned against me and it started raining pretty hard so I had to curtail my visit.
