HANDY LINKS TO OUR BLOG HIGHLIGHTS
Our drive from Lake of the Ozarks took us three days. The RV park we chose in Tulsa was clean, easy to find, and right off of the I-40 frontage road. This was an in and out for us so we did not unhook. Bobbie took her usual walk and we settled in early for a little TV and a good night of sleep.
We rose early and were back on the road by 9AM. The drive was uneventful as we traveled due south through the rolling hills of southern Oklahoma. As we neared Wichita Falls, TX everything got painfully flat and hot. We reached our RV camp in the heart of the city midday and set up camp for two nights.
"Wichita Falls" is now a man-made perma-stone waterfall that was rebuilt after a large flood in recent years. It never was a huge waterfall, but it was the city's namesake. So after the flood, the city decided to rebuild the falls. We stayed two nights in a hot, dry, but otherwise pleasant park. We took a driving tour of the city. Everything was closed. There were few people on the street. We wandered a few neighborhoods, enjoying the sprawling ranch-style homes with their long, low cabled rooflines. We stopped at a local market and it was busy. So on goes the Covid part of our story.
Departing WF, it was an easy four-hour drive to Waco, There we stayed at a nice, locally-owned RV park near the river. About ten miles outside of the city center, it was perfect; quiet, clean, cheap, and no bugs! Our kids drove up from Houston and together we stayed and played in Waco for three days.
In Waco we spent time at the Sports Hall of Fame, a lot of time at the Magnolia Silos, and drove out to the Mammoth National Monument to check out the bones. The most important time was spent with our kids.
