Elephant Rocks State Park

The guys got back in the middle of the night Monday night.  Tuesday we planned a last hoorah day of state parks.  Unfortunately, Dan took a few tumbles on a mountain and hurt his knee, ankle and toe.  I was bummed that he chose to stay home.  We got a late start and made it to Elephant Rocks State Park in time for a picnic before heading up to the rocks.


You'd think Rich, John and Ian would have no desire to climb anything, especially rocks, but they were gung-ho to climb to the top.



I loved the "elephant footprints" on top of the big rock.

We spent a few hours climbing on huge rocks that were mined in the late 1800s.  Miners carved their names and dates in the rocks.  I found 1893 in one place.

After the rocks, we headed to the water someplace we've been wanting to visit, Johnson's Shut-ins State Park.
