Ricky and I took a little mini-vacation with the boys this weekend. We left all the women at home and strapped our bikes onto our cars and headed to Caprock Canyon State Park. We camped there a couple of chilly nights and rode the Caprock Rail to Trail. It's where they take an old rail line and turn it into a mountain biking trail. The 5 of us Highland Hawks attacked the 22 miles on a cold, windy, and wet morning. We began at South Plains in 48 degree weather. About 4-5 hours later we finally emerged from the wilderness at Quitaque. The scenery was really nice and we also so a bunch of deer, some turkeys, and a great horned owl. We also went through a dark, bat-infested rail tunnel. My butt hurts from the seat but I already can't wait for the next Guy-Trip. Here's a picture of us at the end of the trail:

You were Grandma Pearl`s Country. Remember her talking of those names.
You're right! We were only about 20-30 miles from Matador. We saw a few signs for it in Turkey.
