Cruising Far From Home

We decided to get one of the kids to house-sit for us and have taken off, spending their inheritances.
First off to OKC to spend a few hours 2 days in a row with Sherry and Ben.  We stayed at a very lovely spot at Arcadia Lake State Park (City of Edmond, OK).  Then we departed farther south and east to Ava, MO, where our beloved cousins Jerry and Sally Anderson currently reside.  We stayed for 3 days at the MFTBA (Missouri Fox Trot Breeders Association)  RV park, which was great due to the isolation and quiet since it was 3 miles outside Ava and only one other RV in the ~100 place park.  Then we dry-camped right next to the Anderson RV for 2 more nights.  While there, I rode into Ava from the MFTBA camp twice and got lost our last day riding around looking for a barber to cut my shaggy locks.  That trip only lasted about 4 miles, but at these lower altitudes the oxygen level helps a lot cruising around on the bike.  The only unfortunate thing about riding around the lovely burg of Ava is the almost total lack of ham radio digipeater coverage, resulting in no APRS tracking coverage.
Tonight we stopped at Lakeside RV park in Effingham IL.
