Hey Ron !!! Kewl !!! Didn't get to see ya much at Beavers Bend.
I think I'll be stuck in a tent once again, unless magic happens this week.
WEATHER:
I happened to check three or four websites and found most say this same thing from the nat'l weather service :
Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 87.
Friday Night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 64.
Saturday: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 87.
Saturday Night: A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a low around 65.
Sunday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy, with a high near 89.
FOOD
Thanks Trudy for offering Sat a.m. breakfast..I'll try to bring something along to go with it. Sat night is potluck - whatever you wanna bring is fine. Look back at the thread to see what is already covered.
GETTING THERE
If you're coming from TX, OKC or Tulsa area , from the Will Rogers Turnpike exit at Vinita on Hwy 60 east. Then take 85A east thru the little town of Bernice and you'll go over the water before seeing the park on your left.
If you're coming from say, KC or Missouri... from the Will Rogers Turnpike (toll road) and exit at Afton and take Hwy 59 south and then follow Hwy 125 south/west , it's just a little curvy , and then take Hwy 85A to the park. I think you'll pass the Daryl Starbird Museum and the park is ahead on the right. I do remember you will see the pavilion , etc then the park entrance. Remember $18 per night (sr. discount $2). I got prepay's from Todah and DaveL , anyone else just pay when the ranger comes around or call Sherry at 1-918-786-9447 that morning if ya want.
We really should be about the only ones there. WHOEVER GETS THERE FIRST , get over in the most shaded area away from the swim beach! haha
The city of GROVE is not too far away, just around the Sailboat Bridge and around the other side of the water, and that's a bigger town with stores, etc. Not a WalMart though...
JPLOCK or REORON or RICKXR2..... tell me if those directions are wrong!!!
Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!
