We slept in this morning…well sleeping in to us is 6:45. I read where some of you sleep as late as 10:00. I never have been able to sleep that late even if I stayed up late. Anyway we slept in and when we both got up we realized it was free breakfast morning at the casino.
It did not take us too long to get dressed and drive over. We got a front row parking spot and hurried in to get in line. Much to our surprise there was not a line and we moseyed right up to the serving table and filled up our plates. Found a nice clean table and sat down to a delicious breakfast. You couldn’t ask for anymore than that.
To think tomorrow they serve breakfast again for us old geezers! You can bet we will be there with plates extended.
After breakfast we once again retreated to the gambling floor to increase our winnings…but as my journal yesterday was titled…We can’t retire yet!
We drove back over to the RV to freshen up and decided to head out exploring. We only spend a couple of hours a day gambling and after that we try to do other less expensive things. This time we planned to head north and take a look at some new COE parks we had seen on http://recreation.gov . Point Campground on the Lake of the Arbuckle's The drive up there was about 55 miles and took us through the town of Davis Oklahoma. On the way down to the park we saw the…
“We’ll catch this on the way back”, we said. I was a very large complex and appeared to be well worth the look see.
The park was about 2 miles from there and we found the signs leading us down into the camping area. I do mean down into… Like most of the lakes in Oklahoma this one sat way down in the hills that surrounded it. We could only imagine how beautiful this park could be if they had some rain. The trees and the grass were so dry that it looked like fall.
We drove around the camp sites that were large enough for our home and also had 50 amp with water. There was only two or three sites that looked out over the lake. All the other sites were back in the woods with no view or any breeze to speak of. Count this park out for us.
The views were nice and the lake is beautiful
The water was crystal clear and would be great for swimming but really no good access to the beach anywhere we could see. Oh well we can find other places later.
We went back up the highway to the Chickasaw Cultural Center to see what that was all about.
It had to be 105 and we went straight in to get cool
It was a beautiful complex
Very nice exhibit building
We learned a lot about the Chickasaw Indians
Then it was time to go back home. Sherri took some pictures along the way. It is a nice scenic drive back south to the RV park.
You will have to excuse the bugs on the windshield…seems that is the only thing that can survive in this heat.
This was taken on the scenic overlook off of I 35.
We arrived home and Sherri fixed a wonderful dinner. We enjoyed the day starting with free breakfast and ending with a fun road trip…

Hey, with that penny gambling habit of yours I find it hard to believe that going for a drive with $4.00 gasoline is a cheaper alternative. Have fun anyway my friend, and we are enjoying reading about your travels and adventures.
Ya, that casino camping always cost us more than if we went to the highest price kOA!! We enjoy your escapades !!
I can't believe that you are killing our bugs. We need those to create the breezes we so desperately need this year.
All of this country, Texas and Oklahoma both, really need for this drought to end. Too bad we can't siphon some of Hurricane Irene out to here.
Thanks for the heads up about the Chickasaw Cultural Center. We'll be heading from Austin, TX to Coffeyville, KS for my Amazon gig in mid-September and have been looking for some interesting stops along the way. Right now I think we'll plan to stop there and spend at least one night at the Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
The note about the CoE park not being a good bet for you is helpful as well. We're pulling 40 foot of 5th wheel, so I doubt it will work for us either!
Thanks again!
