I just love saying that – staying at the Dam Site near Okay, OK – LOL.

Our campsite is above and it faces the Grand Neosho River just after the dam – will get more pictures tomorrow.  This is a really nice little Army COE campground at $9.00 a night with water and electric.   

We were told to watch out for the deer, raccoons, coyotes, and armadillo.   And we did see an armadillo running around – here he is:
