It is now Thursday, August 5th and we are camping at Lake Skiatook outside of Tulsa. We have a beautiful campsite overlooking the water. Will be here until Monday.
We left on Monday and arrived in Greenville, MS. Had to change camping plans due to the excessive heat and definite need for as much a/c we could get. Stayed over in Lake Village, AR, but had dinner in the famous Doe's Eat Place. Steak was the best ever - atmosphere very colorful.
Tuesday we traveled to just north of Paris, TX - there again choosing a corp of engineers campground for the additional power to run a/cs. The temperatures have been ranging 103-107. Today is beautiful - cloudy with a nice breeze. A cold front came through last night and only suppose to reach low 90's, but back to 100+ by the w/e.
Traveling the backroads of Arkansas and Texas has been most enjoyable. We go from flat farmlands, to rolling treed hills - love avoiding the interstates.
