After a morning round of golf, we packed up the trailer again for a trip to Greenleaf State Park. About 30 miles from Tahlequah, near Braggs, Oklahoma, we discovered that Greenleaf was named the outstanding park in the Oklahoma state park system a couple of years ago. The trip to the park was thankfully uneventful, except that one of the new mirrors I had bought for the pickup flew off and broke on the highway. So, once again, I was reduced to using the stock mirrors, which simply were not sufficient. Before we went to Sequoyah State Park, I had test-driven a couple of other pickups to see whether they had the power I needed to pull the trailer. The sales person and I had actually hitched the trailer to the new pickups, so that we got a really good idea about their towing capability. Any of them would definitely be an improvement.
We arrived in Greenleaf and found a campsite in one of their campgrounds, and went about setting up camp again. The check-off system works well, although honestly, it's less critical when setting up camp because you always recognize what's next when you realize what you need. This campground has electricity and water, but no sewer connections. So it's a good thing we were only going to be here a couple of days. We'll have our first experience with a dump station when we leave. Because we're going to be here a little longer, we unhitch the trailer and thus are able to use the pickup for exploring the area. The weather is beautiful, there's a lake for fishing and boating, and while the park is not full, there are a good number of folks here. Tomorrow night, I suspect there will be many more with the start of the weekend.
