Where Do We Start?


Deciding where to go was quite the challenge.  We know nothing of the state parks in our area and were hoping to have as good of an experience as we did at Devil's Den so the kids would really love this new adventure we were on. Searching for something close to us, we decided upon Sequoyah State Park on Fort Gibson Lake.

One of the many fossils we found on the Fossil Trail.

This is a coyote that has been rescued and is kept at the nature center there
along with a couple of foxes, a beaver and an eagle.

There was a really nice nature center with a friendly park ranger that took us on a short hike to see all of the fossils.  Inside the nature center, there were fish, snakes, fossils and plenty of things for the kids to explore for a while.
How about that sunset?  The kids had a great time and so did we.  We had fajitas and burgers for dinner and pancakes and sausage and biscuits for breakfast. Yum.
The only drawback to this park is that if you wanted hot water in the bathrooms, you had to have quarters...Seriously? Good thing I have a water heater in my little pop-up!
