Talimena Scenic Drive to Oklahoma

Long day of driving today. We drive the 50 mile long Talimena Scenic parkway: curvy road with some steep grades along the ridge of the Kiachima Mountain range. Our Ford pick-up truck gets a work out today with the steep hills.

We stop often along the drive to look at scenery and read the many roadside signs.

We drive for several hours past the Talimena Drive to Prague, Oklahoma and stop at the Catfish Round-up RV park for the night. They have cheap campsites and a restaurant that reportedly serves the best fried catfish in Oklahoma and at very reasonable prices. Our dinner is wonderful – fried catfish, warm apple fritters, warm dinner rolls and hush puppies; and very friendly servers (who keep asking if you want more apple fritters—I stopped myself at two, but it was very tempting to have more).
