Two days on the road – we are now in South East Colorado camping at a KOA in the small town of La Junta. We thought we would make sure to camp at a place that had wireless tonight as we will not have it for the next 4 days.
We started in central Arkansas and within an hour and a half we were in Oklahoma. You really do not travel far in Oklahoma before the scenery really starts to change and you realize you are in one of the central plains state. The main thing I do not like about travel in Oklahoma is the interstate – I-40 in this state really needs work. It is one of the bumpiest areas to go through. We drove all day and camped at a nice campground about an hour and a half north and slightly west of Oklahoma City. The campground is called Sandy Cove and it is by Canton Lake. Here are some photo’s of the campground and lake.

We’ve camped at Canton lake also – beautiful. And I certainly agree about I-40 – ugh. And it doesn’t improve as you go west. The only other interstate that is possibly worse is I-94 running through western North Dakota and Montana. There are times when it’s so rough that you’re actually airborn – and in our 40′ rig that’s quite an accomplishment! Have a fun vacation.

I agree with you about I-40 as well…horrible interstate! I’ve been to Canton Lake many times….Oh and I was born in LaJunta,Colorado and my grandpa is still there in an assisted living home. It’s Ugly there isn’t it?

Karen thanks so much for posting this. I’ve forwarded it to my husband to take a look.
I’ve forgotten already (I’m doing that a lot lately) but where in central Arkansas. I was thinking you were more in northern Arkansas. blessings, marlene

LaJunita is not much you are right Ranette – it was just an overnight stop so not bad.
