Next night we stayed at Foss State Park near Elk City, OK. We were told the winds were a sustained 60 mph all the day before. Bathrooms here were nice but the showers were useless with no hot water and water literally covered the floors. Very nice park though, but we have decided to stick to the Corps of Engineer camps from now on in OK. These are very nice and are federal so they have some standards.
Some time during the night on Saturday, I began itching. Got up to investigate and I had a tick attached to my leg. The prior night, Shirley found one on her but luckily it had not burrowed in yet. So I have an almost perfect score on leaving Arkansas with a tick. I can think of only one visit where this did not happen.
Drove the next day, Sunday, to Santa Rosa, NM. En-route we saw a horrible accident, both a car and big-rig truck were burned to a crisp in the divide of the freeway. Traffic was backed up for miles. Sometimes people get in too much of a hurry.
In Santa Rosa, where we have stayed twice before we enjoyed the wind from within the trailer. Arrived about 4 p.m. and Shirley did a long over due laundry. Then we watched the Yankees win a game on ESPN. It is a regular RV park and has some of the cleanest bathrooms anywhere, so we had nice showers before leaving.
Today we left relatively early but stopped around 2 p.m. we were just tired of fighting the wind. Hopefully tomorrow will see it lessen somewhat. All I can say is these folks sure take their weather seriously. Tornadoes to gale force winds everywhere!

| Santa Rosa, NM. Actually the trailer is level, it's the angle the photo was taken. |

| Did not take a photo of Foss until we were outside of the park. |
Here at Grants, NM, no photo's taken yet, just too windy.
See Ya! Barry and Shirley
