  • Mohawk Park

    Tulsa, OK, February 2026 Despite the name, this is not a place you go for punk hair styles. At 3,300 acres, this is the largest park in the city of Tulsa, OK. It is also one of the largest city parks in the United States. John has started scanning paper photos from his mother’s collection…

  • Overnight at Lake Murray State Park

    Lake Murray State Park, OK, February 2026 We are officially on the road again. Lake Murray was our first stop but only for the night 🙁 Lake Murray State Park has been on our camping list for a couple years. Last year, we cancelled the trip due to working on John’s mom’s house. This year,…

  • Watermelon Cookies Anyone?

    Beggs, Ok, January 2026 The Great British Bake Off had slice and bake cookies with intricate designs as the signature challenge for episode 2.

  • Who do you think is enjoying the picnic table more?

    Beggs, OK, December 2025 Now that the bench / picnic table has been completed and Mackie has mostly recovered from the tooth removal, it is time to enjoy the great outdoors.

  • What the Actual Picnic Table!

    Tulsa RV Ranch, OK, December 2025 No, this is not a substitute swear word. With the weather changing, having to setup a workspace, all the appointments, and unexpected emergencies, we were not sure the picnic table would get done before it was too cold to paint. (Other people’s emergencies, not ours.) It should have taken…

  • Scott Branch Bull Creek

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, November 2025 Hillsdale Resevoir looks a little like a chicken foot. It branches off in a bunch of directions away from the dam. The chicken toe that most of Hillsdale State Park borders is the Scott Branch Bull Creek. Do not ask us; we did not name it. I assume the…

  • Relaxation!

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, November 2025 Sunday was a great day to hang out at the trailer and enjoy almost warm weather. We started the day with biscuits, bacon and egg sandwiches while watching “The Great British Sewing Bee” on Roku. When it was warm enough to enjoy the “Great Outdoors” (with no grizzly stories…

  • Bluebird Trail

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, October 2025 This week has been and will be a week of rain. It rained Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Rain is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The Sun will hopefully come out on Thursday in time for us to prepare to move to a different campsite within the same park. Today…

  • Not Yo Momma’s Jack-o-lanterns!

    Hillsdale State Park, KS, October 2025 They have a Trunk-or-Treat at the park in late October, and Kate wanted to participate. She bought 140 Little Hugs juice containers to give out, and she wanted to decorate. The decoration will be pretty minimal; we bought a few cheap pumpkin yard ornaments and two pumpkins to carve.…
