Beaver's Bend State Park

Gary and I enjoyed our 10 day stay at Beaver's Bend State Park located north of Broken Bow, Ok. We stayed at Fern campground. Cost was $18 a day. If you are a senior, cost is $16 a day. The scenery was just beautiful. The deer would wander into our camp during the morning and evening. For those who love to trout fish, Beaver's Bend is the place to go. Gary managed to catch lots of fish every day. One day he caught and released 20 trout, the next 21. We had great company during our stay. Jim and Sherri Reed, Jack and Nita Connell, and Tom and Diana Persinger. Gary and I sure were lonesome when they all departed. At least they did not all leave on the same day. We also toured the Wildlife Museum and the Forest Heritage Center while we were in the area. I took lots of photos and made 5 different albums to contain all of them. You can click on the travel photo link and view the albums, Wildlife Museum, Forest Heritage Center, Beaver's Bend State Park, Fishing at Beaver's Bend, and Sky at Beaver's Bend.

Fishing at Beaver's Bend State Park

The fishing was great!!!!!! We had 3 fish frys while we were there. Everyone who fished managed to catch trout. Gary and Sherri had a secret weapon and were pulling in a trout every time they tossed their line into the water. The fishing holes were really beautiful. If you love to fish for trout, you need to visit this park. More fishing photos can be seen by visiting our travel photos and viewing the Fishing at Beaver's Bend album.

the different items made of wood. I thought the hat was
really unique. More photos can be see in the Forest

Gary and I toured the Beavers Bend Wildlife Museum.
The tour included a tape which explains the exhibits.
We enjoyed all the information about the animals.
During the week, you can observe Taxidermist Shane
Womack at work. Cost for the tour is $5 for 12 and over,
$3 for under 12. Well worth the visit. The museum is north
of Broken Bow, Ok. on highway 259. More photos can be

Camp Tonkawa, Garrison, Texas

We are camped at Camp Tonkawa with our friends Jim
and Sherri Reed, Jack and Nita, along with their friends who
play lots of music. We have bass players, mandolin players,
fiddlers, guitar players, and banjo pickers. We are really
looking forward to all the hours of music that are coming
our way. This herd of Fallow deer always appear in the
camp. When the music starts, we can see them keep time
with their tails and ears.

From here we will be moving to Broken Bow, Ok. along
with Jim, Sherri, Jack, and Nita. They are taking us to
Beaver's Bend where we are going to go trout fishing.
