Camping - Oklahoma City

 We got to Oklahoma City and parked at lively beer Works which is in the middle of the city. It seems like an interesting spot and we set up our chairs and noticed many homeless people walking in the area. Before we left on a bike ride, we decided to lock everything up and not leave anything out side. We had a great bike ride and saw some many beautiful spots of the city. We rode along a paved bike trail and headed to the downtown botanical Garden. We saw lots and lots of pumpkins as they were setting up for a pumpkin festival. From there we rode down to the Bricktown canal path which is a beautiful area with many restaurants and shops this canal leads down to the Oklahoma river and our bike path also led to the river. We found a drive-through Greek restaurant just two blocks from our trailer and drove up to the window on our bikes to order. I think we made the owners day when we drove up on our bikes and we had a very nice conversation about our travels from there we headed over to live via Work and each ordered fest beer which was very very good along with our gyros. We headed back out to the trailer it was getting dark and we laid down in bed. We kept hearing people go by the trailer and we had noticed earlier that there was a homeless mission. Just a block away from us we felt increasingly uncomfortable and decided to look for a new place for the night. A few miles away we found a Walmart but because of barriers could not get our trailer into their parking lot. So we headed to a Home Depot and called the store and they said it would be fine if we park there we park by Jersey Mike’s because lines were not being painted there, there was traffic nearby but we promptly fell asleep until 2 o’clock when a security guard knocked on our door and told us we had to move. After explaining that we had called the owner he said it was his job to have people move so at 2 o’clock in the morning we headed west and found another Walmart just outside the city. We felt encouraged as we saw about six other trailers parked in their parking lot, for the third time that night we later heads down to go to sleep. This was our first time Boondocking, and hopefully if we do it again, it will go smoother than this.
