Travels in Oklahoma and Kansas

Lake Murray State Park

Lake Murray across from our site

Sunday we left Burleson and drove to Lake Murray State Park for an overnight stay. Our stay at Burleson provided temps in the 90's. We arrived in Oklahoma to a temperature of 73 degrees, dropping to 63 by set up!! Rain started shortly after. I don't remember the last 60 degree day. The camp hosts used to live in Pearland and Lubbock. We enjoyed visiting with them before rain set in.  Sitting in RV listening to rain was nice!

My Uncle Jake - mother's brother - is in a nursing home in Ardmore, so we went to town to see him in the late afternoon. It is such a treasure to see our older relatives and listen to their stories. Planning to see his brother - My Uncle Les - while in Branson in a few weeks.

Monday we traveled on North

 and spent one night at KOA in Wellington, KS. 

It is a small town south of Wichita, but  had a wonderful museum: Chisholm Trail Museum. Was in old hospital building. Actually, only a couple of rooms were dedicated to the Trail. The rest -- 3 stories - was dedicated to memorabilia from the area. Each room had a different theme, i.e., china, dolls, laundry, kitchen, etc. The best museum we have been to in a while. If in area, it is a must see. Wellington also has a very nice Walmart…..

Driving thru Kansas is another different kind of pretty. Flat lands with fields and fields of corn on one side and soy beans on the other side with barns and houses surrounded by trees. And even a lone oil well or two.  Enjoying the ride!
