Grove, Oklahoma

Today we traveled from Owensville, MO to Grove, OK. We arrived at our campground and were not even going to unhook the truck since we are only here for one night, but our lot was just a little too uneven, so we unhooked. Once the truck was unhooked from the trailer, Bob decided we should go get fuel. We went for a drive to check the area out and looked for a station we had seen on our way into town that had cheap diesel fuel. ($2.74/gallon) We noticed that there are several casinos in the area, since most of it is in the "Wyandotte Nation". We decided to stop at the Grand Lake Casino for a few minutes. We each put $20.00 in and 45 minutes later we each cashed out $100.00. So, for $40.00 we made $160.00. Not bad. Normally, we would have stayed and gave some, if not all, of it back. I looked at him and said, "It's time to take the loot and scoot"...and he agreed. We left there and went to a nice Mexican restaurant for dinner.

This campground is another nice one. It's right on Grand Lake. There are a lot of lakes in this area. Since we're staying 9 nights at our next stop, we decided today that we should have broke them up to 5 nights each. Oh, well...
