Chickasaw National Recreation Area

Leaving Texas

 Yesterday, we arrived at Chickasaw National Recreation Area about 70 miles south of Oklahoma City. We have a beautiful campsite with electricity and water right on the lake. The weather is in the 80’s during the day, thank goodness for the breeze coming off the water. These two days are primarily for a little relaxation and some hiking. Yesterday, I hiked along the shoreline to the picnic area. Today, we hiked to the natural springs. But after 3 years of drought the springs and the creek that should flow from them are completely dry. This afternoon, I hiked the campgrounds, they’ve done an excellent job here. Anyway, it’s just nice having a break from all our sightseeing.
