It’s raining, it’s pouring…

We got up early Monday morning and got everything ready to travel, then headed to Gander’s RV to see if our leveling system keypad came in- IT DID!  As we walked in the door of the store they were calling us to say it was in- talk about great service!  Back to the campsite-20 minutes to swap out the keypad, reset the level point, check everything, hook up and hit the road!

Driving through the eastern part of the Texas panhandle was nice- not quite as flat as the western part, and a bit greener.  Oklahoma is a real surprise- it is nice rolling hills covered with wheat and other crops, and trees in the low spots.  This is a nice change from the desert of CA, AZ and NM!

Then came the rain… and lightning and thunder!  We are staying in El Reno, OK at a county park that is right on the lake.  The lake is very large and nice- at least I think it is through all the rain that started falling as we were driving.  This is the view from our trailer, toward the lake- notice all the large puddles. We did see lots of geese and goslings, which is fun. 

We only hooked up electricity because we are only here 1 night and we were getting soaked getting the trailer leveled and plugged in!  We have waited for a lull in the rain, and have finally given up- we can make do with water we brought with us!  Tomorrow we drive to Arkansas, and it is supposed to be a full day of rain- ok for driving, but not as much fun for getting ready to travel and for setting up at our new campground- it will be an adventure!

We saw this great blue heron on our way out of the campground on Tuesday.
