Today we go to Oklahoma. Headed west on # 20, then north on # 271 through Gilmer, Mt. Pleasant and Paris, TX. Crossed the Oklahoma border and instantly had rough roads! Not a priority here, I guess. Shortly after that we had our first armadillo sighting, on his back, feet up in air. We did not see a single one in Texas where they are lovingly called Texas speed bumps.
At Hugo, OK we started on the Indian Nation Turnpike. It was a little smoother and had very little traffic. We got off just south of McAlester, $7.50 paid out in tolls. There just aren't many straight highway options in that part of OK.
So now we are on Hwy 69, very rough and a lot of semi traffic. Drove up through the lakes area, Lake Eufaula being the largest. Arrived at Onapa RV Park - a small place just south of Checotah. Set up and then went in to Eufaula for groceries and to look at the nearby Oklahoma state park. We wanted to see how their state parks compared to other states. They look about the same, some sites have water hookup, the older sites were gravel pads and very small. There were larger sites with paved pads too. Home, supper and early to bed - it was a long travel day.

Tuesday - we went for a long walk on the rural roads by our campground. Watched a movie on TV while having breakfast, some western called "The Honkers". Drove north to Wagoner, then west to just outside of Coweta. Here we stopped to see our friends, Chris and Dorri Evans - we had met them at the Workkamper News Rally we went to last October and then Gary had seen them again in May at the RV Maintenance training. They had invited us to park and stay overnight in their driveway. It was great to visit with them and catch up. We went into Coweta for supper at a Mexican place, then came back and sat outside. They need rain here too, it showered a little as we arrived in the afternoon, but then quit. Thank you Evans' for your hospitality.
