ALIBATES FLINT QUARRIES

Our 57th Park in our 21st State was ALIBATES FLINT QUARRIES near Fritch, TX





This park was a "bust".  The Visitor's Center was closed while the Ranger went to lunch.  You have to arrange for a tour to see anything.  Peeking through the window of the Visitor's Center I saw some beautifully colored stones.  I assume they were flint.  I think the park is suppose to compliment the Lake Meredith experience and vice versa, but Lake Meredith is so low due to the drought in the area that it is unappealing and almost unusable.  The park is near a boat ramp, from which NO water can be seen!!
