El Reno, Oklahoma City, OK

We stayed at the El Reno city campground, Oklahoma, for the last week of October.  We knew we were in for some cold weather based on our choice of travel this fall.....but it is so hard to think that cold!!  We woke up to iced over puddles 2 mornings, brrr!!
We enjoyed our stay nonetheless as we always do.  Had a nice sized lake to walk around and wildlife to observe.

We also ventured to Oklahoma City to meet up with a childhood friend of Mikes and visit the state capitol and some really good breweries!!

A lone snow goose flew in one day with a flock of Canadian geese!

This juvenile black crowned
heron  seemed at home on
the El Reno Lake

feed down ready for landing!

one of 3 resident egrets I saw

if this herons neck seems rather thick, it is because of the large fish
he just swallowed!

Oklahoma State Capitol

3 years into a 6 year renovation project

A park in OK City boasts a beautiful depiction of the Land Rush of 1893, well worth a walk about

Some great breweries!!  Especially if, like me, you enjoy sour beers!

Scarlet Ibis, a tart wild ale

Two of my favorites, Stonecloud
and Twisted Spike......

Did not get a pic of Prairie Artisan but love theirs
also and can buy them in cans, even better!

Yes they also had other good beers!
