Camp #29, Checotah Ok, Camp #30 Edmond Ok

Just a few quick stops as we travel thru Oklahoma.
  2 nights in a sterile RV Park in Checotah Ok. Not impressive enough for pictures. Just a LOT of rigs parked in a row, HO-HUM.
  Got on the road at 1030AM and bee lined for Oklahoma City, OK. Needed to stop at a Verizon store to get an updated phone for me and an update on our wi-fi device, had both for over 2 years, trouble free. This city actually has a corporate  store and it isn't a franchise operation. All the franchises want is for you to bring a fat checkbook in with you, the corporate stores are usually about 1/2 the cost for the same packages. Took about a hour to get all that squared away. We have a new Jet Pack wi-fi device and I've got a new phone, all for about $60 after rebates. The new wi-fi works extremely faster than the old one.
  Made another stop at the toy Camping World store. Bought a new window cleaning bug mop. It's like a scotch bright scrub pad on a 6ft pole. No more ladder needed. (I had to buy Heather "something" for her Birthday! Didn't I ??)
   Heather has another birthday under her belt. I love getting older with her. She was really happy to hear from her kids and friends.
Usually we are home in Michigan this time of the year but since we are fulltiming now we have to keep in touch with everyone via email, Facebook or phone. Nobody writes anymore.
  Pulled in a COE (Corps of Engineer) Parks just NE of Oklahoma City. Ok. about 430PM in the Arcadia Lake district. They have 4 different parks in the area. Kinda tough to decipher on the .gov site, typical gov't thinking.   Have ya ever tried a COE Park? They are definately nice. Usually near water and in the woods. Lots of room between sites and kept up nicely. I like 'em especially because they only cost $6 to $12 per night with my Golden Age Passport (geezer thingy).I took a few late afternoon pictures so the lighting wasn't very good.







Tomorrow we'll be headin' up to Coons Creek COE near Ponca Lake, Ok. It'll probably be our last stop in Oklahoma. About ready for a stop of more than 1 day.

REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY ! Charlie & Heather (she's getting older!!  LOL)
