We had a fun Thursday night, a major thunderstorm woke us up at 3am Friday morning so we turned on the weather radio for the county we were in. The darn thing went off at 4am....severe weather alert, 5am.....heavy rain & hail alert, 6am....strong winds alert, 7am....flood warning alert. Cripe, not sure I want to use this thing at night if we can't get any sleep. The lake in now less than 100' from us. Friday & Saturday Judy went to Curves and we tried to stay dry, the lake is 75' from us.
Sunday we were up early (Judy couldn't sleep so she read from 3 to 6am) and we were on the road at 9:15. The lake was less than 50' from us. We made the 115 mile drive and arrived at Chicken Creek at 11:45. We avoided the scenic drive along the Illinois River due to flooding concerns. Jeff & Susan arrived about 4pm and set up camp. Wes & Tonia were here about 4pm so we had a nice chat before the Collingwoods arrived. Wes brought us our mail, THANKS Wes!! After they had set up the six of us went to Sam & Ellas Chicken Palace in Tahlequah for some GOOD pizza. I tried the Internet and it's working great tonight, this afternoon it told me that Sprint had no data service in this area??? It's been misting all day, hope we see the sun soon.
