You were probably saving those Red Solo Cups for your next weekend on the lake but today is the day we break them out and toast a great musician and American Patriot. Rest in Peace.

Very interesting. I recently had a experience that really opened my eyes. I slipped on a boat ladder and hit my tailbone on the ladder. It was so very painful but not a serious injury. Although I was wearing the life vest incorrectly it saved my life. I had the vest on my legs and was going to be sitting on it like hundreds of times before. The pain was so bad I didn’t even consider trying to stay above water. I wouldn’t have been able to recover on my own if the life vests wouldn’t have kept me close to the surface.

The lesson was that even someone that can swim and has a very minor injury can drown quickly. I was lucky because I made a loud sound when I hit the ladder and had people at the back of the boat quickly. Had I not been wearing a life vest, even on incorrectly, I’m not sure they could have found me in time.

Even the best swimmers can drown. If you’ve been drinking just put the jacket on. Save your loved ones a lot of heartache. Always have a life vest on your child. If you don’t have one or can’t afford one please please please let us know before letting your child near the water. We aren’t open any longer and not at the lake all the time but we would be happy to provide one.

Mention drowning and we all tend to envision a person in the water waving his hands, splashing and screaming for help. That’s not even remotely close to what a drowning person looks like, writes Mario Vittone in this week’s Lifelines: Safety And Rescue At Sea blog.

Could be worse but would make for a bad day. Could happen anywhere.

We often receive complaints about ants at our campsites, with some guests even offering to help us out by spraying for them. One of the biggest reasons we no longer use pesticides is pictured below.
The harvester ants you typically see at our parks comprise a giant portion of the diet for the Texas horned lizard or h***y toad. For years, their population has declined due to insecticides killing off a significant portion of their diet. Since we've ended this practice, we're excited to report significant population increases across the park system, including this little guy recently spotted at Gloss Mountain.

WEEKEND DROWNINGS: Two men died in separate tragedies at Lake Murray. Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 36-year-old Lisandro Joel Collazo Perez of Oklahoma City went into the water to save his son on Saturday. Witnesses said Perez was able to push a flotation device to his son, but then went under and did not resurface. Perez was pulled out by bystanders who attempted CPR, but it was too late. On Sunday, Gregory P. Franks of Ardmore was boating near the Lake Murray Lodge when he went into the water and never resurfaced, according to the OHP. The body of the 58-year-old was recovered shortly before noon today.

July 18, 2022 Carter county just issued a burn ban for the next 7 days. Since Love county was already under a ban, now all areas of Lake Murray State Park are under this order. The order only allows for charcoal grills and propane grills for cooking. Go to https://forestry.ok.gov/burn-ban-info for more details.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends that lost a precious 7 year old today. Such a tragic ordeal. Hug your little ones just a bit more tonight and say a prayer for this family.

After the federal government lifted a gas restriction in April, E15 will now be available through the summer. Experts warn boat owners will have to be careful they don't use it or face a cost much higher than the gas prices.

We stopped and tried J&K Catering at the lodge. Excellent food and large portions. Two people can easily share a plate and both be satisfied. I had never had the smoked bologna before. It was wonderful and around 3/4” thick. Stacy had the shredded chicken plate. Also awesome.

The next time I have the bologna plate I will request two more pieces of half sliced bread and make two half bologna sandwiches and split the sides with someone.

If anyone really knows me (Jeff), you know I don’t like overpaying for anything. I was not disappointed in the cost.

There’s two food trucks at Lake Murray today that I know of. Go support them. Even if you aren’t thrilled with their prices, buy something and split it with someone. The prices I’ve seen are fair with the inflation we’re seeing.

I know there’s one at the old marina and one at the lodge. Support them so they will be there for years to come.

Tell em the Lake Murray Snack Barge sent ya!!
