Oklahoma!

We took off for Oklahoma at the end of transition week and made the trip in two days.  Stopping in Kansas on the way.  It was nice to only have two days of travel this round as opposed to the three when we went to San Antonio.

We stopped at a gas station in Kansas that had fake palm trees outside.  What's up with that, Kansas?

Our sponsors are nice again this round, although I don't envision them dropping off baked goods like Mark and Peggy did.  I'll talk more about our sponsor, the U.S. Forest Service in another post.

We're living at Camp Tom Hale, a boy scout cabin in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma.  It's pretty neat.  We're 20ish minutes from the nearest town, which has a couple of gas station and a Subway.  We're about  45 minutes away from a McDonalds that has wireless Internet.  It's about a forty minute commute to work each day.

We're living in the nicer staff cabins, which have bathrooms!  A definite pro.  There are four cabins we have access to, the 3 other girls on our team and I have a cabin.  Then the boys split up in threes in the other cabins and we designated one as our hang out space.  We've dubbed in the Command Center, as we lovingly refer to our team leader as Commander Connolly (his last name).

I've upgraded from a cot to a bed!

The camp is huge!  It was finally nice enough out to explore yesterday so Max and I checked the place out.  I'll write up another post about it soon when I get more pictures of it.  Below is a sneak peak of the  amphitheater.

One of the biggest con's of the camp is that there is no running water in the commercial sized kitchen we cook in.  There is also no heat in the kitchen/dining hall, so for the past two days that's been a pain. We've learned to bundle up for dinner.

This is not a joke, this is how we actually bundle up for dinner!

Seeing as we don't have internet, I'll do my best to write weekly updates when we 'head to town' for our weekly Wal-Mart trips for groceries.
