I don’t know why KOAs sometimes have two cities in their name when they’re located in an actual third city. The Elk City\/Clinton KOA is in Foss, OK. Arrived at around 2:30 PM after a 2.5 hour drive from Amarillo. Although it was a short-ish drive, poor Mister kitty continued to be increasingly agitated about riding in the truck in his carrier. He cried endlessly, until I stopped at a rest area, gave him treats and snuggles and some Rescue Remedy and he finally settled down. I’d tried a Thundershirt on him to see if it would calm him, but it just made him more stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After we arrived and got set up, I took the truck out for gas. Whenever the truck’s navigation directed me to “OK-40”, the truck mistook it for its wake words, “OK Ford,” and it woke itself up. Kept asking me what I wanted but I wasn’t talking to it, it was talking to itself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I ordered a pizza for dinner at the camp store. They had a small dining area, with one table set up for checkers with a cloth checkerboard and large checkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk to the lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In the afternoon, I went for a walk, meaning to go all the way to nearby Clinton Lake, but it was 95 F and so hot I turned back once the lake was in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a really nice campground, with lots of trees and grass, spacious paved sites, and yummy pizza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
