If you don’t know who Belle Starr was, she was an outlaw that was convicted of being a horse thief and was killed in 1889. Many of her exploits were in Indian Territory or what is now Oklahoma. There is a lovely campground on the shores of Lake Eufaula near the city of Eufaula called Belle Starr Campground. You can get a deep discount with a National Park Senior Lifetime or Annual Pass. There are a few other passes that provide a discount as well including a Permanent Disability Pass. We recently stayed there 5 nights, two of those nights were with Tom’s sister Julie and her husband David. We had some fun rain, not really fun but a lot of rain. There was some thunder and lightening as well on Saturday night. I’ve missed lightening. You don’t get much of that in Washington State.
Here’s a conversation between Tom and I during the lightening.
Me: I want to get some video of that lightening.
Tom: Well, go on down to the lake.
Me: Did you grow up in Oklahoma? Didn’t you learn to stay away from water when it’s lightening?
We then proceeded to discuss that perhaps he was trying to get rid of me. I did take some video but didn’t go near the lake.
I highly recommend the campground but they don’t have full hookups so you will need to limit your days, monitor your water usage or have a portable tote to empty your tanks.
We’re continuing our travels in Oklahoma as head to Moyers, Oklahoma and KRiver Campground. We’re enjoying the traveling life and our many adventures. Hope you’ve had some good adventures too.
