and a nice sunrise down by the lake here
    No more rain and a nice mild night. this is good! Got a nice walkabout here first thing is the sun was rising across the lake. Gonna be a nice day.  
nice campsites here they are here full-time 25 year leases
love the trees here in the spring time
          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.
the pictureI got of the cabin
    The three pictures below I took off the internet shows you what we were looking for.
the cabin being re  constructed 
the burial site
and  her Tombstone
          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,
our view of the lake from our site
         Soon time to whip up supper, Tonight a couple Pollock fillets on the grill.cook from frozen 5 minutes a side and they always turn out perfect .
waiting for the fish to grill our view
just about done and a lemon on the grill to make it very juicy 
added to our salad was wonderful 
        Supper done, garbage done and our Weber Q stored for travel in the morning, we good to go when the spirit moves us. No rush tomorrow.
now at 6:45 pm I caught a bit of a sunset
to wrap up another wonderful day
     That was our fun last day here a bit of exploring and some very nice warm weather including a tasty supper. 
     Wanna thank you for dropping by and hope you had a great day as well.

      Mild night for sleeping 55F and the rain was heavy at times overnight , Suzie tells me. I did not hear it though. Had a nice quiet morning then a walkabout the park again, at least it is not raining and is 68 F . Loving this weather nice and warm. and especially no cold and snow.
lotsa room here and no close neighbors
      On my walkabout this morning I checked out the clubhouse nice and quiet here not much going on. But that is fine with us . They do have a small library and lotsa puzzles to make but none on the go. Patsy needs to be here.
nice cluhouse
        Suzie wanted to go to Walmart in Chectoah  about 15 minutes away and nice back road drive, nothing she wanted today picked up a few more groceries.
        Back home we enjoyed a wonderful very warm sunny day. Much better than the weather forecast we we're supposed  have rain but did no happen. Bonus !
a very nice actually hot day up to 80 F
 here in the shade we loving it!
     Because of the rain forecast we decided to cook meal in side A favorite of Suzie's Garlic Shrimp pasta.For that recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
cleaned our Rocky Point shrimp
these are huge and oh so tasty
what a perfect spring day
they have free storage her for members a great deal
      Started supper doing the shrimp and veggies pasta going on the side.

      After supper we enjoyed some more outside time , wrap up this posting  after 7 pm and still 68 F out here now this is the weather we enjoy.
a bit of a sunset the best I could do tonight

A rainy day actually a nice change of pace at least it is not cold ! Opps car got stuck!

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
    What a great sleep we had so quiet here, and I actually slept in again! 5:30 this morning wow. Our wonderful weather we have been having has gone down hill for a bit, 55F today over cast and some rain later on this morning for a couple of hours. Ok it was all day. A good things with all this heavy rain we found out the water leak we had fixed in Quartzsite appears to have worked. No more leaks , Yeah !!!
     Before that happened I got a nice walkabout this campground getting familiar with it again We like it here as well that's why we came back.
love the trees and cabins here
tornado shleter
a very shelter inside
a few seasonal campers here and they have sheds
for their rv;s
a nice sheds the have and decks as well
the lake here is nicer on a sunny day
horse shoe pits
fish cleaning station
main street Eufaula
          Then took a drive into Eufaula to check out the Top Value grocery store they do have some wonderful prices on quite a few items I picked up Bananas  25 cents a LB, Chunk tuma 39 cents, shredded cheese 98 cents,, bacon 2.88 a lb.  have not seen those prices for a very long time. Also they had some pork sirloin chops that we love 78 cents a LB but a 10 lb package, no room for those :<(.
     Back home by 10:30 and we enjoyed a light tasty lunch, raining now. So no outside fun for  a bit, no problem we have FHU's do some computing putter around, gotta repair a broken lamp, so that will keep me busy , then we can get some reading done. Even watch a couple of real old TV westerns on ME tv. Like Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Rifleman, Wanted Dead or Alive, and Bonanza, in black and white of course, all of the great old shows we used to watch years ago.
          We were supposed to have 20 % chance of sunshine, but the weather gods goofed. Mostly rain all day after 9 am. No problem though and looks like may have 30 % chance of sunshine tomorrow, we will see. But 3 pm we enjoyed a nice Happy Hour watching a couple of more old westerns, really enjoying this weather for a change of pace.
         For supper tonight we decided on some Pork Schnitzel a nice meal to cook inside on a rainy day, So thawed a couple of boneless pork chops, pounded them down to 1/4 inch thickness or less. Roll in flower and spices , egg wash then cover with seasoned panic bread crumbs for the recipe you can click HERE or check my recipe blog top right sidebar. An easy very tasty meal. That we will of course add to our salad.
love this mix we got at the Arizona Market place in Yuma
makes a nice salsa as spicy as you like
boneless chop to hammer down
chop wrapped in plastic my meat mallet does the trick
then the flour, spices , egg wash and bread crumbs
easy and in the fridge for a while
here it is 4:30 pm and still raining,
but heck the day has flown by
just enjoying out time together
        We do have the local tv channels on like always when in this area (Tornado Alley) especially when there is raining thunderstorms around, we do get a warning right on the TV and if need be we can go to the shelter, we have done this a few times  over the years. They do have amazing warning systems here in this area.
          Soon time to whip up supper and tonight with our schnitzel I am going to fry up some onions and mushrooms, to go with some shredded cheese and salsa. What a tasty treat.
saw a few Canada Geese around herre must be following us home 
nice pool but not open yet
schnitzel is done
and oh so tasty and tender just the way it should be.
      No visible sunset tonight as expected so no picture, And still  raining at 6 pm so we will enjoy a wonderful quiet evening inside, we know how to that too!
      Now I hopped in the car to take the garbage out and was no going to happen. Move ahead a foot or so and got stuck! Opps this is not good !! A neighbour saw me and came over to give me a push. No Go. Then he walked over to another neighbour here , he came to look and said heck we get the tractor. They had chains hooked up , tractor came and in no time we were unstuck.
yup we stuck
tractor here and a little tug we good
thanks guys for the help
sure is a friendly campground 
was stuck here not going to park here again
      Love these friendly people here willing to help whenever the need arises . Nothing quite like friendly campers with this lifestyle.       Thanks for taking the time  drop by and hope y;all had a great day as well.
