Another great day, amazing staff here, and a fishing derby.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Very mild overnight 56F at 5 am and gonna warm up nicely but and overcast day.  Did get a nice walkabout for my first mile around the campground but no sunshine, at least not too cold, Gonna get some rain and cold weather over the next few days though. But we will take it as it comes, better than cold and snow back home.
 A pretty nice sunrise this morning 
they have nice clubhouse house here I will check out tomorrow
more very nice rentals cabins here as well
         Then the Tornado shelter not far from us we have been here before in the past, very secure. Not pretty but we will be safe. That is all that matters.
this is the shelter 
           When the office opened at 8:30 this morning I went and asked why I could not get any cable channels. We like to be able to watch local Tv when we are in Tornado Alley to keep a close eye on the weather. They have amazing warning systems. The lady there called Daniel and sent him over to check out the cable, nope not working for us? So he got a cable box hooked it up and wow we have cable. They are so helpful and friendly in this park, really take care of us campers. And while in the office the lady asked me if I was the blogger, she recognized me from last year. So I gave her our card, Then another lady from the office came out and said there is my blogger, I lost your card, ok here is another one, I love reading your blog. She also told me they had to put netting over the pond, because the cranes were eating all their fish, I kinda figured that.
now they can keep the fish I saw 6 today
     After this into Walmart to fill our 5 gallon water jug with RO water (I forgot yesterday). And on the way back I check out the location of the fishing derby. This is the FLW (Fishing league Worldwide)  Click that link and so much information there First place so far today is catch a 22 lb his career earnings at $128,000.00 in 3 years another his earnings 1,265,965.00 in 24 years wow thats a lot of earnings for fishing all the time, what a great lifestyle .
cruised around here for a bit to check it out
boat trailers every where a few hundred
here out on the lakes somewhere
 a few of these amazing boats here too
         Back home for a light lunch then time to do some laundry, Suzie had sorted it so I took it over to the park laundry room,.Good prices $1.50 wash $1.00 to dry This was all done and folded, took it back home and Suzie put it away. Even though overcast today it was comfortable 80F. a decent day to spend outside reading, shorts of course.
nice bright laundry room and exercise area as well
I did some of that too.
wanna relax here?you can do that too
3 washers and 3 dryers we only need two.
nobody else here
    About 2:30 we headed to the fishing derby to see if anything going on yet. Not see much now we did a quick walkabout and headed home.
some amazing boats here though
for keeping the fish alive after they are weighed 
then they go in here and are released again 
            Back home by 3 pm read for a bit and prepped a nice chicken for our Weber Q. We had time for Happy Hour and read for a while as well, Loving this wonderful warm weather here .
not sunny but very warm
a good day for reading outside 
love this large sites closest neighbour.
        Soon  time to whip up supper I picked up this chicken yesterday for a good price so tonight was a good day to grill it on our Weber Q.
we will get a few meals from this plus soup
we do enjoy this dipping sauce ,only in Canada,
we stock up
       While reading and cooking your chicken noticed 6 trailers with boats coming back  from the fishing derby, camping here somewhere in this park.
another one back here for the night 
      Just over an hour later our chicken was done to perfection grilled some fresh asparagus for a few minutes.
added to our salad it was wonderful
        Still outside at 7:45 reading a bit and finishing this posting , a perfect 65 f but no visible sunset tonight so no picture of that maybe another day.
        Hope y'all had a wonderful day and thanks for stopping on by.

Where are we today ?

         A wonderful good nights sleep and was lucky I slept until 5:30 this morning wow that feels good. As the sun was rising I headed out for a nice walkabout around this lovely campground . Down past the clubhouse, pond, fish cleaning station and the water front campsites that are not open yet for the season. Probably the ground is still too damp yet. While there I saw many, many flocks of birds heading north in their view formation thought maybe geese but no honking. Thousands of them heading north. What a sight to see.
nice morning sunrise out out living room m window
over a small pond
yup its spring Daffodils blooming
panel boat pond
nice reflections in this pond
sunrise over the boat docks
nice fish cleaning station
sites by the lake not open yet
the Sailboat Bridge into Grove
all these birds amazing!
they just kept coming
just love these flowers
cute Bear bench
a very nice pond beside the pool
3 waterfalls
 
lots of nice rental cabins here as well
         Then about 9 am I headed into town stopped at Harps (employe owned) grocery store for a few items on sale , then stock up at the Walmart down the road. Back home for a light tasty lunch.
a very nice grocery store
    Now time to enjoy a wonderful warm sunny afternoon. Got a few more walkabouts enjoying this fine weather checked out their amazing pool here.Not open yet but sure would be wonderful in the summer. 3 miles done today.
           Just enjoying this great sunny warm day a comfortable 74F . This a great day to read outside and enjoy the weather.  New neighbour pulled in beside us, Les a local guy he is here for the Bass fishing tournament this weekend. He is one of the guys that keep on eye of everyone. He is one the marshals for the tournament. He came over to ask if I had a wrench to tighten up the drain on his hot water tank, he had winterized it but was not tightened. So was leaking. Got my tool box out and sure enough had the socket to take care of that. nice to meet fellow rver's and help them out when I can. Pay back from yesterday this is what rv;'ers do
what a perfect sunny afternoon
       I finished another book and started another John Sanford in the series. Loving this reading time outside that we can enjoy together.
        I had gotten this series of about 25 books from Croft Randal (Croft's Wanderings) a fellow blogger/ rver from Vancouver Island, we have followed for many years and met him and his wife Norma a few years ago at a Flying J Denny's in Texas. sadly we heard yesterday that Norma had passed away. Our condolences to Croft and his family, she was a very nice lady we only had short time to visit with. Have met Croft a few other times in our travels as well.
another Lucas Davenport page turner
        I was looking around and noticed this truck camper down from us and an awesome looking boat he was working on. Wow what an amazing boat, this fellow is here for the fishing tournament . And does this fulltime, around the country from one to another.Obviously he has sponsors, just look at the equipment and boat he has!
getting things ready to fish
250 horsepower he has had up to 72 MPH on the water
man that is fast for fishing
his house
      Soon time for supper, tonight I whipped up a salad and grilled some pork sirloin steaks got on sale at Harps 3 bucks for 5 of them so grille 2.5 for a very tasty meal. another meal in the freezer. And some asparagus for $1:25 a lb enough for 2 meals.
not long on the grill mat
another very tasty meal for a good price
         After supper we sat outside reading for a while, enjoying a nice mild evening catch another nice sunset here in Oklahoma. Finally at 7:30 pm cooling down to 64F we headed inside to enjoy the rest of our day.
just beginning
a nice ending to a wonderful day
      No problems here just enjoying the area and some nice warm spring weather. 
      Thanks again for dropping by for a peek.
