Skiatook

Our campsite is on the banks of the Skiatook lake which was primarily created to provide water for the town of Skiatook, OK.  The Indian lore story is that just prior to the settlement of westward folks to this area there was a tornado that passed through.  As the local Indians met the settlers they told about what they called "the Ski-A-Took" so that became the name of the village.

We are having great weather and it's been good to just sit out in the shade and enjoy.  The campfire this afternoon isn't working as good as yesterday and it will depend if we can find some dry, seasoned firewood near here whether or not we have any other fire while we are here.
