Madill

After chilling at the house sit in North Dallas for three days it was time to head north and check out three different lakes.

We did not leave until 1:00 pm and Kimberly was hungry so she found us the Drunken Donkey! What a great bar. Unfortunately their air conditioner was broken and the repair guy had to go to Fort Worth for parts. We stayed anyway and had a great time.

We met several great people including, Berkeley, the guy Kimberly looks like she is ignoring in the photo below.

Kasey was the bar manager and he gave us some info on the lakes we were going to. But we also talked about Broken Bow Lake that is in our future farther east. Kasey loves Broken Bow. He wanted to know if we had ever eaten crayfish. I have and Kimberly hadn’t so he gave us a pound of them. They are delicious but totally not worth the effort of getting the tiny bit of meat off of them.

Our first stop was going to be Lake Lewisville, but we drove over it and just kept driving because the water was not very nice.

Next was Ray Roberts Lake. Really big lake. We looked at camping at a state park, but when we checked out the water it was decent but the lake was just really big and not a lot of good places to paddle board.

Kimberly and I aren’t big into fast food but every once in a while we give it a go. We have been driving by Golden Chick fast food places it seems forever. Kimberly wanted to check it out, bad Kimberly bad Kimberly. There was a Sonic right across the street, although I have never been to one it would have been a much better choice. I joked afterwards that it should be called Golden Sick instead.

On to lake Texoma on the boarder of Texas and Oklahoma. Another really big lake. We checked out yet another campsite and took a closer look at the water. The water was ok but definitely not great.

I think we both had kind of decided individually that if we are going to consider Texas as a final destination it would most likely be in Texas Hill country.

We just crashed for the night in a Walmart in Madill Oklahoma.

We woke up and decided to head to Broken Bow Lake with hopeful thoughts running through our heads.Read more
