When I arrived at Copan, I was hot and tired. I planned a new route to Osage Hills on paved roads. This will be a thirty-one-mile day instead of eighteen miles on gravel. I went to bed early and slept well until I woke at 5:30 a.m. Breakfast and coffee were first in line. Next, packing up and leaving.
The east side of Oklahoma is very hilly with lush landscapes.
The day is hot and there is no shade and a strong headwind from the south.
I finally arrived at Nancy’s campsite a little past noon. Nancy got back from shopping minutes before. I settled in, sitting in the shade. We walked to the camp office before they closed to get cold drinks, two bottles of locally brewed root beer for me, one for Nancy.
It is a wonderful night with a cool breeze. I set up the hammock.
