We saw a movie today – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. It was very cute and brought back memories of the original Ghostbusters. We recommend seeing this movie if you liked the original Ghostbusters.

This morning we had just settled down outside to enjoy our coffee when a horrible buzzing sound came from an electrical panel 15 feet from our campsite. It was buzzing and had a big red light on top. When we first got here and picked our site, we noticed it was a little stinky. Daniel assured me that he could take care of the odor and he did so by wrapping plastic wrap around the sewer access. Today, the maintenance men found an issue with the pump in the sewer and were able to fix it quickly.
It was a bright, sunny day with lots of blue skies and just a few little wispy clouds – including a pink cloud. It was hard to see through the trees but it was pink and the rest of the clouds were white.

We explored the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in southern Oklahoma. This park has several natural springs, both fresh water and mineral water. This park was once Platt National Park and had more visitors in the year 1914 than Yosemite or Yellowstone National Parks. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps did a lot of work on the park including rerouting streams to create a natural pool and the “Little Niagara Falls”. Since the National Parks system became more focused on preserving natural landscapes, this small park lost its National Park designation in 1976.
The park has wonderfully wide and well maintained trails, a herd of buffalo, and a beautiful nature center reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Fallingwater” house with a stream running underneath (the building was designed by his understudies).
We also found the acorn of a Bur Oak and they’re huge! I talked to the ranger about the tree’s natural habitat but it seems this tree does not naturally grow in our neck of the woods in Tennessee.
