So Sunday after church Jeff and I went to Chili's to grab some lunch and were discussing what we wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon. We both wanted to do something, but didn't really have any great ideas. So I suggested that we go somewhere. Jeff agreed and asked where I wanted to go. I had no clue. So we finished up lunch and went home. Jeff started packing the car with the essentials: chairs, radio, ice chest, tent, etc. I got online and started looking for a destination. We wanted to go somewhere we had not been before. I came across the website for the Great Salt Plains Lake in NW Oklahoma. So we all loaded up, including our doggies, and headed west. Along the way, we came across a field that was full of HUGE sunflowers. It was beautiful.
Several hours later, we arrived just in time to find a campsite and watch the beautiful sunset.
The lake is very strange because the whole lake is extremely shallow. Because of this, you can't put any boats on the lake except for small fishing boats. I guess this is why there were very few people there. We were so lucky to find a perfect spot to camp. There was no one in sight and we had a sandy beach area just for us. The dogs were able to run free and act as crazy as they wanted. We were exhausted just watching them.
We had a wonderful time! Here's a video clip of the dogs. They ran around crazy like this pretty much the whole time.
