Lake Eufala! That is a very large lake. If I remeber right it takes like an hour to drive through it from north to south. It looks like the place to be to beat the heat in Oklahoma.

Of course, The only time I see it is from the window of the Greyhound bus, But it is a nice sight to see compared to the rest of the roadside sights in Oklahoma.

I hope you at least have your own discman for the ride to NM.

I beat you, over 17hr in a car driving to VA from the near tip of FL. My fam and i going to spend time with fam up there. The only thing that will keep me sane is my laptop.

Have a nice trip Robbie. Oh and Happy B-day.

I just got back from 18 hours ( 9 one way) trip driving two 80 year olds to see thier grandchildren. The grandbabies are apparently scared of old people. The kids cried, the adults bitched and I wanted to be deaf so bad that I listened to death metal at full volume until my cd player melted.

Hey Robbee!

I hope stuff works out with the new guy on the CC team!

Try to have fun on your trip anyway, you never know it might be a blast. And anyway have an awesome birthday and take care!

One thing though:

Am I to assume there's a large, long bridge which passes over/near this lake? Or when you say "driving through" are you REALLY driving through? Because I bet THAT'S why it take so long, I expect once you're fully submerged frequent car trouble hinders your progress.

What about the other CC boy? Now there's two of them?

Lucky you, though!

Go get 'im, tiger! :2hands:

I never thought of that! Maybe thats why the bus always stalls out through there--We all just get out and push usually until its back on dry land

No, Actually, Look up driving directions on mapquest from McAlester OK to Checotah OK. Lake Eufala(Eufaula?)(Eufala is apparently right for the Eufala wildlife managment area, Eufaula is the name of the town and lake?) It is on both sides of Hwy 69 for quite a few miles, Several long bridges and lots of small bays. It looks like maybe a river that was dammed, But I'm not for sure. I was raised in MN, Land of 10,000 lakes, and there are odd shaped lakes there(for a good example of a crazy lake, see Lake Minnetonka) But lakes that size and shape in OK, My opinion is it is a man made lake. I am wrong occassionally though.

Hey! I was wondering when we'd here from you again...

Just woke up in a hotel myself... Yesterday I woke up in Kansas City, Missouri and left at ~8:30 am; today I'm arrived in Macon, Georgia at about 2:07 am... so it was about 15 hours worth of driving yesterday (had to stop a couple times for gas/food/etc), another seven and a half ahead of me today and I'll be home again.

So you never told us if you ever caught your freshman? Or did he run so fast you caught him?
