On yesterdays posting got an Anonymous comment that we are in Bell Starr country, so I checked it out and found some very interesting information and the location of Belle Starrs cabin and burial site. Only 20 miles away, so we took off for a nice country drive to see if we could find it.
For some very interesting information about Belle Starr click
HERE an interesting read. She was named the Bandit Queen and led a very colourful short life. Back in the 1800's

| not too far from here a nice country drive |
This be the place but looks like private property so we did no explore it, too bad.

From here we headed back home checked out the Actufaula dam and recreation areas . Such an amazing area around all these lakes and rivers, boating and fishing everywhere. this area would be amazing in the summer ! Pretty nice right now too!
 |
| they have nice campsites here $15 bucks a night electric an water |
 |
| some nice flowers here as well |
 |
| the dam here produces electricity for the area |
Heading back home another nice area to camp and fish.
Then back to Terra Starr and we realized this area is dedicated to Belle Starr, we are just off Belle Starr road and really so much history here is amazing!
Back home for a light tasty lunch and a wonderful afternoon enjoying this warm weather into the low 70's F and overcast with a slight north wind, but we enjoyed a great afternoon outside reading out of the wind and a very nice view of the lakes well. We are enjoying this campground very much.
Puttered around for a while between reading etc.. checked our tires and oil before we head out in the morning just because I can,
