Curt was up and about, JAS called out a croaky goodbye from the trailer dinette as we pulled out. We stopped at a nearby McD’s for breakfast (just get ONE burrito combo for the two of us next time!), then followed Rte 66 all the way in to Tulsa. Really a nice drive, parallel to I44, it also avoids tolls on the I44 turnpike. We did have to get on I44 to get through Tulsa and across the Arkansas River, but no tolls there.
From there we went on 412 east, another scenic road. Periodically 412 turns into sections of turnpike, but there was always a designated scenic 412 for us to carry on and bypass the turnpike sections.
We were set up at Denton Ferry RV Park about 2:30, a pretty spot right on the White River.
We did have to move over a site when the manager came back, as the site we set up on was reserved for that night. The cg was the second-most expensive of the trip at $33 with Good Sam, but very nice. Our site was right across the road from the very good washrooms, and the park had free wi-fi, with a wired option in the lounge.
White River is a good trout river. It’s controlled by a dam about 14 miles upstream. When they release water through the dam for hydro generation, river levels change dramatically. It's a popular fishing spot.
It’s mid-spring in this area. The trees are leafing our, and lots of blossoms.
