Day 1 - Epic Roadtrip Honeymoon

Yesterday we headed out for the first day of our epic honeymoon roadtrip and the first day was an epic success. Yesterday was the longest driving day of the entire trip at about 8 and a half hours of driving. We stopped for a break in Fayetteville to see Katy’s sister before continuing on into Oklahoma. The driving in Oklahoma was ok, but it got very hot before we reached our destination at Foss State Park, OK on Foss Lake. We went up to the ranger station and the sign said to just set up camp and a ranger would come around and take our money for the campsite. We set up at the Mouse Creek Campground at a site that was about 15-20 feet away from the lake itself. We got a supper of chicken thighs, rice, and potato rolls going and relaxed by the water. After eating, we did some exploring and rested until the sun began to set. We had an awesome view of the sunset across the lake and we took pictures and sat to watch the beautiful scene until dark. Everything was absolutely perfect except for the 20-30 mph winds until 1 am. We are now headed to Colorado for the first time. Looking forward to cooler temperatures and fantastic scenery!

From Katy-

Oklahoma is an interesting state we love watching the character of a state develop as we drive through it. Since we drove almost the entire length of Oklahoma, we decided that the speed limits are almost always 65 but that's because there is not much in your way as you drive and it takes FOREVER to get anywhere. We saw our first (not working) oil rig just on the West side of

Tulsa. This picture was taken after OKC

notice the very short trees and flat landscape.

Apparently, Yukon is Garth Brooks hometown. They did have a pretty cool water tower.

It seemed like every gas station was at least 50 miles apart. Sometimes you just want to stretch your legs.

I love to see the big windmill farms.

It amazes me that more people don't invest money in that valuable resource. They are soo big and awesome!

Overall, we had a good day. It was lots of driving but the view in the end was totally worth it.

Tomorrow we are off to Texas, where they say everything is big!
