Friday 10/22
Redbud Bay Campground on Lake Oologolah (or something like that) is tiny. But there's a bigger one down the road where we can go dump tomorrow. Or take showers, play on the playground, or launch our boat if we liked. Which we don't.
The campground host and hostess came by to check us in and proceeded to chat for a long time. No mention was made of the "six o'clock check-in time" stated on the reservations website. We arrived at 3:30 or so, after a disaster on the road involving the Jeep tire on the driver's side rear. It apparently busted at some point or other and we continued to drive on it for a long while, so by the time someone pulled up beside us and yelled at us through the window to tell us about it, there wasn't much tire left. Certainly not enough to diagnose the original cause.
The campground is extremely pretty despite it's tininess, and I'd recommend it highly. Some sites are very unlevel, especially the back-in sites on the way into the loop. Numbers 1, 3, 5, .... all very slanty. Ours was a higher number, 11, and it was slanty enough that we needed six or so of our new leveling blocks Ed made out of heavy black plasticy kind of stuff. But I noticed there was as least one pull-through site that was very level. Wish we'd had that one.
Very odd fossil at the lake shore:
But ours was nice, and it all was very nice. A little more crowded than the state park we came from, but very acceptable. And it's a Friday night, after all--I'd expect a corp of engineers campground to be full up on a Friday night. Of course, the neighbors on my bedroom window side left a strand of very bright rope lights on all night long. Gotta expect stupid.
