Uncle Jim

Visitation was very nice and in the same funeral home where Aunt Catherine's visitation was when she passed away.  It was easy enough to find and just about 50 miles from where we were camped.  Hardy's dad and sister and her husband met us at the funeral home.  Hardy II made the trip to Tennessee to meet up with Mary Ann and Larry and then they continued on to Dallas for the funeral.  Poppa seemed to do quite well considering the circumstances.  Jim was his only sibling and they were both in WWII, Jim as a pilot and Hardy II as a pilot instructor.

Roy Roberts State Park

After leaving Boggy Depot State Park in Oklahoma we drove to Tishomingo to the Chickasaw Cultural Center.  They had a really nice museum with many artifacts and a lot of local artistic displays.  Of course we had to geocache while there.

We left Oklahoma and continued to Roy Roberts Lake State Park where we camped until after the visitation services for Uncle Jim in Dallas.

We took off early to do some geocaching in the area and to visit some of the counties in our Texas County Geocaching Event.

Hardy at the Well

The Labrynth

    

We went to Wizard Well to find a geocache.  This was an interesting area and really off the beaten path.  These mineral springs were visited by the Kiowa Indians for many years and then as a way stop for travelers later on.  The railroad bypassed the area and now there are only a handful of people living there.  We did find the cache!!

Uncle Jim

It has been a long time since I have posted so will give it a shot again.  We received word that Hardy's uncle, Jim Pottinger had passed away and the funeral was to be in Dallas.  We were just getting ready to leave for Montana on our annual trip so we diverted to Dallas for the funeral and then would continue looking for geocaches in the northern counties of Texas before we headed out to Montana.

We left fairly early in the morning and headed through Oklahoma on US 69.  We found this really nice state park called Boggy Depot where we camped.  It was out in the middle of the boonies and very few campers.  Actually we were the only campers in our area.
