Last week we went to southeast Oklahoma’s Beavers Bend State Park for a few nights. So we had only two full days and we packed a lot of fun during that time. Two hikes, a kayak ride, several dog walks and lots of sitting by the fire, making smores, grilling burgers, playing cornhole, and sitting in the hot tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first hike was along the Mountain Fork River below the Broken Bow dam on what I think was an old logging road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Broken<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was kind of fun paralleling the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farther we went the smaller the trail became. It ends at about 1.5 miles in so it makes a good out and back route of about three miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second hike was alongside the Broken Bow Lake formed by the dam. It was also fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we went for a short kayak paddle on the Mountain Fork River just below the dam. I’m not much a kayaker but I was able to handle the little rapids they had right at first (most would call those rapids a ripple). It was calm water and there were not many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Broken<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a very calm time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made for some great reflections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may notice however that I blew out the sky on these photos. Sorry excuse for Skywatch Friday, right! I have the technology to put whatever sky I want on but that seems like cheating. And you know here at Skywatch Friday, we are very inclusive our various skies, even the ones blown out by untalented amateurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gray skies and all we had a great time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
