We spent last Wednesday at the CG and relaxing then started to break camp. Thursday we made the LONG 90 mile trip to Cookson and the Corp of Engineers Chicken Creek CG. We went there to spend 4 days with three other HitchHiker couples; Jeff & Susan, Stacy & Sharon, Wes & Tonia. I didn't do any posting from there as it was on Tenkiller Lake and Internet access was very poor. The CG has a wonderful location on the rolling wooded hills beside the lake located inside the Cherokee Nation. It was VERY enjoyable and we will return. We had a good time with our friends. We did a lot of visiting, some card playing, football & NASCAR watching, watching the squirrels and EATING. Friday night we went to Sam and Ella's Pizza Parlour (say the name fast and think of under cooked chicken) for supper and had the best pizza since we have been on the road! On Saturday Wes smoked a huge brisket and Judy made German potato salad, everybody contributed to a great supper. We checked out the Cherokee Museum located at the end of the Trail of Tears and an old mansion built in the 1840s. Wes & Tonia (who is Cherokee) both work for the Cherokee Nation on their computer systems.
We said our good byes Sunday night and departed Monday morning for Thackerville.
