A short travel day that was very long after we got our coach stuck.

Where are we today ?

         Our last night here and another good sleep, up early for some computing and coffee, a nice walkabout then hopefully secure the coach and hook up the car and get on the road. A couple of nice walkabouts enjoy this mild weather and a nice sunrise.
a bit foggy but we not in a hurry
         We had talked to Marty (maintenance) yesterday about getting stuck with all the  rain. he said he would be in at 9:30 this morning and set down some boards for us. Now at 10am he no showed. We checked and there was a family emergency so he not here.
we might get stuck 
the car was stuck on Saturday
and we got towed out
looks good so we gave it a try
nope we stuck!
        Yesterday a fellow Bobby came by and said he could get us out , he has been here 15 years and does it all the time, So I tracked him down and he came over. But we need the tractor. Hmm it is a key lock now, So he drove 7 miles each way to get the key. Got the tractor and came down with a chain.
coach carefully hooked up and slowly we managed to get unstuck
a slow pull but we got out
no damage done! bonus
       This be Bobby below a very friendly helpful guy and refused to take any money for the 3 hours of his time he spent here getting us unstuck as much as I tried.  Now That is one very friendly camper , actually like most we have met over the years. Always help people when we can.
Thanks Bobby what a great guy, fellow camper here
this where we were stuck , not much but just enough
      Now a tip for us and anyone else coming in here get a pull through or gravelled site (they do have a few). 
     Finally at 11:45 this morning we were on the road , car hooked up and ready to go. Made a quick lunch for the road and headed north on 69, stopped at the Flying J to fuel our coach 57 gallons taken so we good for another 400 plus miles.
     Took the 4 lane(not a good road) for an hour or so then some very nice 2 lane roads (avoiding the tolls) making our way to Grove OK.
very good roads here
love these back roads very little traffic
we passed right by here love this place
have been here 3 times in the past
lots of lakes and marinas around here
The entrance to The custom car Museum
amazing love his cars !
       We arrived at Eagles landing(2:30PM) we have been to many times over the years. with our membership only $10. a night with FHU's free wifi and cable TV if you wish. Plan to be here 9 nights, but then again plans can change.
a wonderful campground we enjoy
     It was a hot day and I was in shorts all day, Awning deployed and once everything was taken care of we stopped for a nice happy hour, discussing our day travel plans and supper tonight.
what a perfect day
a very nice campsite. like
 we usually have here
      Got a short walkabout checking out all these amazing flowers in the field.
so colorful
     Do love the restrooms here they redid a few years ago.
nice showers too
       Supper tonight a tasty one, turkey burgers and fresh cut fries done in our Fry Daddy this hit the spot tonight we both enjoyed it and filling as well. nothing like fresh cut fries.
love our Fry daddy
yummy? yup
then about 7:30 caught a nice sunset
 right out our dining room window
     It was a long day but not many miles, but we are here for a while, we hope to unwind and get ready for another leg of our journey home.
     Thank y'all for checking us out and hope you had a good day without getting stuck.

Sunshine for a Good Friday, great weather, meeting up with fellow rver's and a few picks off my windscreen.

Where are we today ?

       Just another great sleep and waiting for the sun to rise. Yes its going to be a sunny day with no rain forecast, gonna love it. Now this is really a Good Friday !
    First walkabout shortly after 7 am I managed a few nice pics of the sunrise for a promised wonderful sunny day. Nothing makes you feel more alive than a warm sunny day.
      Carried on my walk enjoying this warm sunny morning. they have a couple of FAT tire bikes that we can use  if we wish here in the park.
      And I spotted my first Robin this spring, now I know it is spring time!
         Walked by some of the rental cabins and noticed some of the hail damage that they had a while ago, wow the damage is amazing , glad we have not run into it ourselves.
broken window and holes in the vinyl siding
even the air conditioner took a hit
         This morning I made up our Cranberry sauce with Orange zest to go with our Turkey breast for supper. This is so easy and so very tasty for the recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
begin the cooking
about 10 minutes later done !
       Right after lunch we took advantage of more of this warm sunny weather, give me a haircut outside, I set up did most of the hair and beard then Suzie comes over to fist all the spots I missed, what team we make! I be good for a while again, until we get back into warm weather.
      I had a request yesterday from Marlene for some pictures of our wind screen that I made for our Weber Q a few years ago. Very easy to make and I just used some scrap metal that I had, and really works like a  charm and only cost me a few bucks.
this sure does the trick when there is a breeze
a piece on the bottom and 2 hinges to fold flat for storage  
hinges for folding
angle brackets and butterfly nuts too assemble quickly

      We are members of RVillage a social media website for Rver's. Have been for over 4 years and have met quite a few Rv'ers when we are in areas that they are and we hook up. So today we met up with David and Cheryl Scoby Rv'rs that have a house in this area. We actually met them last year what a fun interesting couple they are.  They came over for Happy hour at 3 pm and of course the conversation just flows for a couple of hours so much to talk about and so little time.
Cheryl and David
          At 4 pm I fired up our Weber Q and set a turkey breast on my foil lined trivet to grill for an hour or so.
foil lined trivet
this what I call a trivet
a bit more than and hour and the turkey breast was done
and some cabbage wrapped with bacon
seasoned with garlic powder and pepper
it sure was a wonderful tasty super, cranberry sauce
and bacon wrapped cabbage was oh so good
     After supper put our Weber Q away and enjoyed a pretty nice sunset again. What a great way to wind up a perfect warm, almost hot sunny day.
      That was it, we made the most of this wonderful sunshine and enjoyed every minute of it out side, Sure hope you had some sunshine and good weather as well.
       Thank y'all for dropping on by.
