After our last goodbyes we left Las Cruces on Friday morning. It struck Stephanie after she had her shower and didn't hit me until we were near Anthony, 'We are Free to go where we choose'! That was an overwhelming feeling, but totally welcome. As part of the process, we decided to go as far (maybe somewhat of an escape feeling) as we could the first day, that meant the interstate. We made it to Sweetwater, Tx and decided to stop for the night. Stayed at a private campground that first night that we can't remember the name of (no pictures either). Got up early on Saturday and decided to go to a lake by the name of Possum Kingdom near Mineral Wells, Tx. Through internet searching and phone calls it was determined there was no available spot for us there. We went on to a Texas State Park called Mineral Wells and actually got to the park entrance before we got the news that our trailer would not fit in the camping spots AND they were full anyway. Beginning to think maybe we should have planned ahead a little. We went on to Weatherford, Tx and started calling around to try and find a place to stay. We found a site at Oak Creek RV park, WHEW. Right next to the interstate but just beautiful. Stephanie checked us in and , of course, had to ask if there were any GOOD barbeque places near by. She got directions to Natty Flat's which was actually about 20 miles away but totally worth the drive.
Entrance to the restaurant
Natty Flats is kind of a destination all unto itself. It is setup as an old pioneering town with the restaurant as the anchor. We didn't actually tour the town we just went straight for the barbeque.
We did stop for a 'tourist' photo of the largest cedar rocking chair in Texas
We decided to stay at Oak Creek until Tuesday morning when we will head for Lake Dallas (YES, we did get reservations) near Denton, Tx.
Here are a few pictures of Oak Creek RV Park
