Today is our last full day in Lawton, Oklahoma and we are ready to move northward.  The winds died down and it turned out to be a beautiful day.  Our daughter, Lynn, son-in-law, Gary and grandson, Sam drove up from Dallas to see us today, as it is only 2 1/2 hours of driving.  How special is that?  With Covid and social distancing, we were able to make a bunch of snack foods and take to the clubhouse and eat there, and no one came in that whole time we were there.  I guess because it was so nice out and people didn't have to deal with the wind.  Lynn and Gary have had their 2 shots of vaccine and Sam kept his distance from us, but we aren't concerned, as we have had our vaccine, also.  We did wear our masks for the duration, except for eating.  Lynn is getting into quilting, so she went 'shopping under our bed'! That's where I store my quilting fabric and she just needed a little of this and a little of that.  She just bought a new sewing machine and I was more than happy to get her started with some fabric from my stash.  I will never know she took any!  We topped the day off with a delicious rum cake that Lynn made and brought along, so it capped off a wonderful day!  

This saying on the door in the clubhouse was perfect for us!  We have a plaque in the motor home that we got from our former neighbors in Waunakee and it says, 'Home is where you hook up".  So, to sum up our visit to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, we are glad we came and experienced the many interesting natural and unnatural things here.  The geo-caching in the refuge and in Medicine Park was very fun and educational, and the hiking was good for what we were able to do on less windy days.  Our favorite place is still the Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona.  I don't think anything will ever change our opinion on that one.  It is still interesting to deviate from the norm, and there is always something to see and learn from a different area.  We will be in Kansas tomorrow and stay three nights.
