September 4
We checked out another area of the walking path around the
lake while the weather held out. It was overcast and sprinkling when we first
got there. We walked for almost 2 hours and it did start to rain again so we
drove back to the area with the gardens and waited for it to stop before we walked
almost another hour before heading home for lunch.
We did see a few birds and it was a nice walk about the
lake. It really is a very nice park area and is well maintained in all areas.
Quite a few people out fishing, boating, riding bikes and walking or jogging
around the lake.

After lunch, the skies opened up and it rained and rained.
It’s still raining. Hopefully, it will stop before we need to leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow we are headed to Neosho, Missouri for only 2 nights and 1
day, our shortest stay ever, but there really isn’t much there and we had to
stop somewhere. It’s close to Oklahoma so we may go there since we don’t have
any stays planned there. (just not enough time left in our schedule)
