November 2007 Newsletter
This month's campout was at Lake Elmer Thomas in Lawton. Those attending
were the Barratieres, Boltes, Griffins, Halls, Johnsons, Owens, Marshes,
Maxwells, Rowe, Thrailkills, Tuckers, Wests, and visitors from Ardmore, John
and Carolyn Graysneck. The weather was almost perfect. We went to Mears for
a giant hamburger and cobbler with homemade ice cream and then several took
a drive over by Mt. Scott to view the wild life.
Because of bad TV reception we didn't get to watch OU beat Baylor, but we
did watch the OSU game. We had a feast on Friday night, our hosts, the Owens
and Maxwells, fried up a ton of fish with hush puppies and our ladies
provided lots of good side dishes and desserts.
Saturday for lunch we had a choice of steak, pork chops, or chicken fried
steak at the Riverside Restaurant in Medicine Park and thanks to Drewman we
even got bread and a salad. The Barratieres, Marshes and Tuckers checked out
a new park on the east shore of Lake Lawtonka. The Winnebago Club was there
with around 30 rigs at $15 a day. The name of the park is Granite Point and
it has full hookups and a club house. The phone numbers are (580) 429-8743
0r 678-2701 or 678-9334.
