Goodbye to Camp Horizons

Well, we are a bit disappointed, but also happy to be on our way again. The disappointment is that the exterior repairs (fixing some rock damage and such, nothing major) were not completed today. Also, our door problem (the remote and keypad will not lock the door) was not fixed. However, lots of other work has been accomplished.

We pulled out of New Horizons a little after 3:00 p.m. and headed south on US-77. Tonight we're being serenaded by very loud and frequent train horns, but we also have 50 amp electricity and water for $10 and a perfectly level site at the Winfield Fairgrounds. It's deja vu for us. We stayed here on our way north in 2008, when we were definitely novice full-timers. This is really a nice place to spend the night, and we don't usually let train noise interfere with getting a good night's sleep.


Tomorrow we'll be headed to a resort near Tulsa, OK, and then on to Thunderbird Lake near Norman, OK. The basic plan is to relax and enjoy sleeping in past 6:00 a.m. On Sunday we're due to arrive at Lake Lewisville.
We managed to leave the pantry unsecured by its retaining pole when we pulled out this morning. Ken walked in the door at our first stop and found the pantry door open and the top drawer fully extended. However, no damage was done and nothing even fell out. All the other five drawers were in their places. We're lucky that New Horizons excellent construction saved us from making a mess (I can picture cans rolling around on the ground and coffee grounds everywhere)!

Sorry to hear your rig was not completely fixed. If you are staying at T-bird lake in Norman you're very near my aunt and uncle's old home on Hossman Rd. It is a 11,900 sq. ft. home!!! They are now in their small retirement home in Nichols Hill in north OKC. It's only 3,700sq.ft. Isn't funny how happy we can be in 400 sq. ft. It's all just a state of mind!!
