I cleaned for an entire day. Front to back, top to bottom, every surface was covered in a fine layer of sand-dust. Floors, surfaces, walls, ceiling. I hate sand. Enough ranting.
We have arrived at our new backyard in Lawton, Oklahoma where we will be for about 10 days. This is a city park. It’s not fancy but they do have water close by, electric hook ups at each site and a dump station.
There are other people in the campground but they are well-spaced and we are able to find a campsite with no one close by.
Well, except for our friends, Warren and Cindy.
We are social distancing our rigs. Aren’t we good campers?
And look at the guys practicing their social distancing. Marley, Warren and Cindy’s Great Dane, is having almost too much fun with a stick she found.
Besides just sitting around eating and drinking, Warren and Cindy take us for ride through the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. We see a lot of longhorn steer and buffalo. Yes, there is the token “buffalo in the road” rocking his, I’m-big-and-in-the-road-and-I-don’t-care swagger. EVERYONE is giving him plenty of space.
I just can’t get over how large buffalo are especially when up close.
Pictures just can’t convey their size. It’s like comparing a cow, to a German Shepard.
Unfortunately, the city is closing the park on April 6, and we have to leave. All that social distancing camping for nothing. Oh well, off to Lake Texoma Thousand Trails.
They are allowing anyone in the park on April 6 to stay until May 1. Normally, our membership allows us to stay for 14 days, so this is a big help to us. Since the US government has closed all national parks and forests, and States are closing their state parks, we are left with only the private campgrounds that choose to stay open, which aren’t many. Really, why do we need to close campgrounds for COVID-19? *Sigh*
