Traveled about 500-600 miles on the first part of our journey while we will call Roots and Routes. Going to a family reunion of a couple from Norway and their descendants and attending a step niece's wedding and visiting the Hougen family farm in Norway, Iowa - well, it is definitely tracing our roots. Our routes will take us to places we haven't been (mainly) from upper peninsula Michigan to the Adirondack Mountains of NY to Philly, DC and Amish country.
Today we arrived at Ft. Gibson Lake, Oklahoma and staying at Sequoyah Bay State Park (near Muskogee and Wagoner) where we are one of only 5 RV's in our 10 RV section. There is some sort of green algae in the lake (can't see it except on rocks on shoreline), hot and dry so many people stay away. However, TV reports that they are educating public on the algae which apparently is not as lethal as some may think.
Interesting fact - 225 miles of shoreline 19,000 sq. acres of water (and not one person or boat) and campground sections named after the Five Civilized Indian Tribes. Next research project is to find out why these tribes were called civilized!!
