Our drive to our next campground was not a long one. Our site overlooked Hugo Lake.
We had a celebratory rib dinner which everyone enjoyed!
The next morning Chris and DeAnna tried their hands at fishing. Only a few nibbles that we found out were probably turtles.
Chris and Grandpa went bike riding and found a turtle in the middle of the road. Chris rescued it and put it in the grass so it could find its way home.
Another day we went geocaching. Here Chris and DeAnna model the latest in geocaching gear for hot summer days.
I think we found one!
The Canada geese were abundant at Hugo Lake. If you look closely in the flowers, you can see this adult pair's baby.
Hmmmm...what's that on DeAnna's foot? Could it be a small raccoon?
Hugo is the winter home to a circus. Inside the local museum is a painstakingly crafted miniature circus. It also houses train sets and many items from the early days of Hugo. Next door to the museum is a Harvey House Restaurant.
And what is this that Chris found? DeAnna and I were taking a break, but I think Grandpa caught Chris trying to call home.
Our last day at Kiamichi we drove to visit an old fort.
Bob and I would have loved to walk around the ruins, but it was just to hot. We were all melting! We read that the barracks behind the kids once housed 100 men!
From Ft. Towson we drove to Doakesville--the ruins of a town across the river from Ft.Towson. We had to enter the trail from the cemetery. We didn't spend much time looking at the signs or ruins because the horseflies were trying to take us away!
After five days at Kiamichi, yes, the kids swam in the lake to cool off in the evenings, we packed our things and headed to our next destination...Dierks Lake in Arkansas.
