Saying Goodbye . . .
We pulled out of the Pauls Valley City Lake Park about 8:15 with Jan following me in the truck. Our final destination was the Springhill COE Park about 220 miles away in Barling, AR, just south of Fort Smith.
But our first stop was about 6 miles away at the Comfort Inn on I-35 to meet our co-in-laws for breakfast. Sonja does the breakfast at the hotel and had invited us to stop by. We got there about 8:30 and were surprised to find how extensive it was. We’ve stay at a number of hotels recently, including other Comfort Inn’s and this one is the best so far, with a much better selection.
After saying our good-byes, we were back on the road about 9:30 for another short trip right up the road to the Wal-Mart to get diesel. At $2.48 it was the cheapest I’d seen in the area, and since I was down to about half a tank, it seemed like a good idea.
We had a great time here in Pauls Valley getting to spend some time with Sonja and Lendel, and hope we can get back through here soon. And the City Lake Park turned out to be a really nice place. I mean where can you get a view like this for $13 a night for 50 amp FHU.
Very nice.
Originally we had planned to just take I-35 into OKC and then I-40 east. But after checking the route with some locals, I decided to take 19 over to US177 and then north to I-40 saving about 25 miles. And it turned out to be a really good idea. The road was great with only 3 stop signs the entire 30 miles, just rolling through the beautiful countryside.
We pulled in the Springhill COE Campground about 2:45, with the easiest check-in we’ve ever had. I told the lady my name, and said we had a reservation for 3 days for site #B3. She said yes, handed me a map, and we were done.
We quickly found our site and got set up. We were happy to see that this one is just about as nice as our site at Pauls Valley.
Tomorrow’s probably a goof-off day, although we may do a movie. We’ll see.
