CHICKASAW RECREATION AREA AT SULPHUR, OKLAHOMA

We made it to Chickasaw Recreation Area just outside of Sulphur, Oklahoma. This is a pretty area and the autumn colors are just starting to show. It is mostly oak trees in the area so they are not as bright. We passed some fantastic views coming from Arkansas to Oklahoma.  Some of the colors actually looked fake with their lemon yellows, lime greens and amazing reds...

 

 

 We could tell when we got to Oklahoma because of the change in the land. More open pastures with prairie grass and more oaks...

 

 

It wasn't hot because of the rainy weather so don't know what this cow was thinking...lol. Not swimming weather for sure...

 

 

This store and Museum were in Arkansas. I don't remember what town they were near but I think the road was Hwy 63.  It's a play on the Lil Abner cartoon and Dog Patch, USA. This is the Jot'em Down Store...

 

 

Because of traveling in and out of rain. There wasn't a lot of light for good photography so I took pictures when I could like the one of this old barn.

And the wild Canadian geese in this new rye grass field...

 

There are sections here in this park that are really pretty. This is a scene just up the road from where we are camping. Nice show of yellows...

 

Phil and I went down to the beach and discovered an abandoned boat. We got the water out of it and carried it up to our campsite. The boat had escaped from the Goddard Youth Camp across the lake. So, the next day Phil called them and told them where it was at. Today he spoke with the Park Rangers about it. They are going to pick it up and deliver it to the Youth Camp. I am so proud of Phil...

 

A passing boat scared a young raccoon up a tree.  He just thought he was hiding, lol...

 

He is really out on a limb. We talked to him for a few minutes and he calmed down. Even went to eating the acorns around him. So we left him in peace and when back to camp for the night...

 

Speaking of night... it has been a busy day. We had to make a run into town. Did some shopping, sight seeing, got a haircut, and now I'm beat. Can't hardly stay awake...

 

 

Don't know what tomorrow will bring or what kind of critters I'll dance with. But I will keep on dancing...

You do the same.... just....

KEEP ON DANCING
