April 22, 2007 Santa Rosa, NM to Checotah, OK

Earth Day! We drove from Santa Rosa, NM, through the Texas Panhandle…no scenery worth noting. Continued through Oklahoma and found Northeastern OK to be very green and pretty. We located a wonderful KOA in Checotah, OK, home of 2005 American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood. The campground had a fishing area stocked with bass, perch, and catfish. With no fishing gear, we couldn’t take advantage of it. Besides, our resident fisherman, Christian, was not with us. I hiked to the large lake at the back of the property. It was a lovely camping location!
