Mountains in Oklahoma?
You bet!
Last night we camped at DeGray’s Lake State Park. We got up around 6:00 a.m., and it started to rain soon after that. I took advantage of the break and opened my Father’s Day present from Elizabeth. She gave me a set of DVDs of the Britcom “Keeping Up Appearances” that I love so much. Now I can watch Hyacinth, Richard, Elizabeth, Onslow, Rose, and the the rest of the gang to my heart’s content. It rained fairly hard for a couple of hours. We didn’t want to break camp in the rain, so we waited until about 10:00 o’clock before we left.

We drove on back roads to the town of Mena, AR, had lunch and then started up the Talimena Scenic Byway. I was astounded. We quickly climbed to the top of a ridge and stayed on that ridge for 50 or 60 miles. The views on both sides were spectacular. I think the scenery rivals the Blue Ridge Parkway, and there is hardly any traffic. We drove through Queen Wilhelmina State Park in AR, and it’s a place that I would certainly like to visit again. It has a beautiful lodge perched on the edge of the ridge and spots for RV camping with spectacular views. Best of all, on a Sunday afternoon in mid-June there were hardly any people there.
We decided to make Sunday a short day, so we drove to Robber’s Cave State Park in Oklahoma and set up camp at a very nice, relatively secluded spot by 4:30. While setting up camp, Emily called me for Father’s day, and I had a nice conversation with her. Lois then fixed a good spaghetti dinner with a green salad. After dinner, Lois and I took a walk over to the other side of park. We talked to Elizabeth on the way back, and now we’re watching a DVD and listening to the rain on the top of the motor home. This is not a bad way to travel. Roughing it has never been better. More later.
