Lake Texoma

Friday afternoon we did a little exploring around Lake Texoma.  Our campground is right next to the lake and there is a side road that goes down to Cedar Mills Marina and Resort on the lake!  The lake is located in North Texas and has over 89,000 acres of water surface and over 500 miles of shoreline.  Looks like lots of boating, fishing and water skiing takes place on the lake.

We had lunch at the Cedar Mills restaurant, Pelican Landing.  I had the special which was crab salad on a croissant...delicious!  Then we took a look in the ship's store.  They have clothing, sandals and odds and ends of things.   Ted is standing in front of the store!

We took a drive around the park to take a look at the campground and think we could actually fit in a couple of the spots.  They have a small petting zoo but we only saw a duck in a baby pool!  They also have a very long grass runway.  A small plane was flying around and I hoped it would land so we could watch it but it didn't.

On Saturday we went to the ice cream social at the park.  It is a busy park and lots of people rent the sites by the year so there are lots of golf carts all over the place.  There's a large family pool, adult pool, mini golf, basketball court and nice horseshoe pits.  After the social we took a drive to the lake.  They have a boat ramp and some small beach areas.  There was a big family on one of the beaches swimming and picnicking.  It is really a big lake!

On Saturday afternoon and Sunday poor Max was sick as "a dog", poor thing.  He didn't know if he was coming or going.  He's a little better today but with as empty as his stomach is, there are only a couple of things he wants to eat, dog cookies mainly!  He's not even interested in rice which he normally loves!

Today we left Lake Texoma and are now in Arkansas.  We drove through the south east corner of Oklahoma.  Their roads are really rough.  I noticed their gas is about 20 cents less than Texas and Arkansas, maybe they need to raise the gas tax and absolutely use it to repair the roads!  Their roads are worse than those in California!!!!!

We are camped in Van Buren, Arkansas!  The campground lady said if we hear sirens we should jump in the truck and go down the road 3 miles to the school where the shelter is!  All I could think of is "crap"!  I'm afraid of tornadoes.  I'm used to earthquakes and hurricanes but not twisters!

Praying for no twisters..."Ain't Life Grand!"
