Hello from Oklahoma. We are at Grand Lake of the Cherokees which is the Crappie Capitol of the World according to their literature! We haven't seen a crappie! But we have seen some nice fish as you can see by this picture. It was caught on a buzz bait. We got here on the 26th and will be leaving here tomorrow to go down to Ft. Gibson Lake in Wagoner, OK for the Bass Club World Championship. Terry will be fishing with a club from Oregon. If they win, they each get a new Skeeter bass boat. Each club has a 6 man team and there are 38 clubs represented across the country. This was the same tournament we went to last year in Shreveport, LA, but Terry didn't fish in that one. We were just there to support the Oregon team.
The campground is very nice and right on the water. We have a deck that sticks out over the bluff above the water and the property is well maintained and mowed. They even have free firewood for all the campers next to the office. You just help yourself! In this picture, we have the boat parked in the site next to us since it is late in their season and some vacant spots. Lots of people leave their motorhome or trailer here year round and just come for the weekend from Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. Nice place.
You an see our view from this shot. All the spots are pull ins for motorhomes and back ins for trailers. That way you have a great view from your front windows. We are facing east so see the sunrise every morning. It comes up about 7:18 am.
They also have a dock to park the boat at night so Terry could go fishing early. Obviously, I didn't go out that early. He had to come by to get the keys for his lockers so I got this picture and the next one of him heading out. He fished about two hours and came back for breakfast.
The sun wasn't quite up at this time, it was just about 6:45 in this picture of him heading up the lake. We are on the dam end of the lake.
Then we had this heron floating in on a piece of styrofoam that had come off of some dock somewhere. At first I thought it was a boat, and then noticed it was a bird!! It floated in from the lake and just walked back and forth on this float!

Anyway, that's it from Oklahoma. Hopefully we will have some pictures of the tournament next week.
