Southwest USA, Day 2, Foss State Park, OK

OVERSLEPT, BUT NO HARM DONE We overslept this morning, not waking until 7:30 AM. This is a bit unusual for us, but after a breakfast of toasted English muffins and coffee, preparations were made for moving on down the road. Hooking-up is proving to be less challenging and time consuming, so we departed at 8:30 AM. US Highway 412 took us all the way to near Tulsa, via several turnpikes. We spent $18 on tolls today driving through OK. Most of the roads were okay, but some were terrible, jarring DunnGone and us to pieces—is this what the roads to Alaska are going to be like?

JELLYBEAN, THE RVING CAT
Ms. Jellybean has adjusted beautifully to RVing again. She gets in her carrying cage almost before we start up. She doesn’t like all of the movement of leaving – slides coming in, etc. She does like the RV tho. She likes to look out the window at the woods or animals. She also doesn’t have to go far to get petted. The only time she ‘cries’ is when she’s hungry or needs to use the liter box when we’re traveling.

SW USA 022FOSS STATE PARK, OK Stopping for gasoline (9.7 MPG) and lunch, we arrived at Foss State Park about 2:30 PM. We drove to one of the 3 campgrounds, and it provided tight maneuvering quarters as it was mostly for tent camping and picnicking. A 50/50 guess as to which of the remaining two campgrounds proved bad odds; after unhooking the toad, and inspecting various sites, finally, the third and last campground proved to be worth the trouble—it was wonderful, with pull-thru sites overlooking Foss Reservoir. The level, concrete pad resulted in near effortless set-up.

SW USA 023It was quite windy, but the LaFuma recliners proved to be our undoing. We enjoyed a drink and the picturesque lake.

Donald prepared a skillet dinner, and after eating, Kay read for her computer class and Donald updated this journal. Then it was early to bed.SW USA 028
