Day 4 in the OK campground


>Here's Mike & Rene's 45' Newell Coach. This 2004 motorhome has 4 pullouts so looks like a homey living/dining room as we watch the Olympics. Was a cold windy day - snow this morning in Ok City so no one wanted to go back to the flea market to get channel lock pliers or exchange the wranglers. Went to wallyworld (WalMart) last night to get the pliers and they must have dropped out of his bag cuz he couldn't find them this AM.

Went for Valentine's dinner at the Casino - usually not into buffets but this had shrimp cocktails, prime rib, oyster appetizers, catfish, great asparagus, and a dessert fountain of chocolate with fresh strawberries and pineapple , pecan pie and a 6" chocolate layer cake/mouse. We waddled home. Wimpy gambler: won $5; spent $3.

RV people go on line to look for RV spots and read the reviews of other RVers. They are pretty picky " Heard gunshots, gravel, potholes, have to pay for WIFi."

While I was making brownies in honor of Valentine's day, the crew must have been making plans for camping in Dallas. When I joined them we were making plans for San Antonio and watched the movie RV with Robin Williams, a training video of what not to do! I looked for some places near McKinney/Plano where Gerald, Kathie and Clayton all live. When I'm calling for reservations Monday morning as we're leaving for Dallas, the guys announce we are staying in Burlesen ( south of Ft. Worth, 70 miles from where we are going to visit. ) I sure thought that was inconvenient but didn't win that battle as the reviews weren't good enough. Mike was willing to drive up and back in the pick-up. Here's what we drive thru- thank God it wasn't rush hour.
