Oklahoma



We have entered Oklahoma and headed to the Great Salt Plains State Park. 




walked the nature trail and came across an open air church
the upper section of water is where I saw the snake



The Great Salt Plains Lake is formed from damming the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River.  The lake is no more than 4 feet deep at the deepest part and is 1/3 to ½ as salty as the ocean.
the lake is so low there is a lot of beach


view directly across the river from our campsite


this fox was after a blue heron but alas...

We did the auto tour of the Great Salt Plains Wildlife Refuge and unfortunately all of the marshes are dry because of this severe drought.
