So a while back I made this post where I was teasing about a man-made fairy ring in the woods and made a note I'd talk more about it once Spooky Season came around. In reality, it's likely this pit with all the mushroom looking things were meant to be a pool with whimsical lighting fixtures, but with my light bit of research, it looks like it may have even been an alligator pond for the nearby Animal Reptile Kingdom that was part of the Nature's Acres park.

There seems to be some conflict, but most websites seem to agree that the idea for the Blue Whale may have come before the rest of the park which just expanded on the water park idea. Natures Acres was a pretty popular Route 66 side attraction in the 60s and 70s only about 14 acres wide and it had a petting zoo to go along with their reptile shows. These shows were some of the first to go as the Davises who had built it were getting older.

There's still something about abandoned places that leave an unsettling feeling mingled with sadness. This odd structure, not being far from the other "mushrooms" lets my mind trail off to the idea of being a larger, more ancient entity than the colorful caps nearby. I wonder if perhaps that was the zoo. Or at least one of several enclosures.

Fantasy imaginings aside, I do have to wonder what will become of all these. The Blue Whale and park as a whole was closed in 1988 for Mr. Davis's health, but ultimately was abandoned after his death. The city did eventually buy the swimming hole (albeit, it was such a mess, people can't swim there anymore) in 1995 and restoration efforts have been underway for years now. The Blue Whale itself was a priority, but there's a small information hut and the picnic tables have been fixed up to my understanding. So who knows, perhaps one day the wider, broken park units may recieve some love too. Or at least get cleaned up even if we won't be seeing any gator ponds in the near future.

My stylist lives in Sherman. He said they were building a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at Lake Texoma.

Oklahoma and Texas fans of Hard Rock Hotel will be gaining a new destination to visit in 2026, as the company announced plans to develop a hotel and residences on Lake Texoma.

Construction on the project, which is expected to create over 9,000 jobs in the area, is set to begin in March, according to a news release. The Hard Rock Hotel and Residences will be located at the Pointe Vista development, which is a 2,700-acre resort community with over 19 miles of shoreline, a golf course, enclosed waterpark, family entertainment center, an amphitheater, casino and more.

Here's what we know so far.

What to know about the Lake Texoma Hard Rock Hotel

The hotel will feature 189 rooms with 25 suites and 168 residence rentals.

There will also be an 18,000-square-foot conference center and event lawn, 11-acre water area with white sand beaches featuring islands and cabanas, Rock Spa, Body Rock Fitness, Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club, rooftop bar, fine dining, all-day dining and a Rock Shop featuring Hard Rock's merchandise.

Lake Texoma, the country's 14th-largest reservoir, attracts nearly seven million visitors every year, hosting multiple fishing and golf tournaments, the release said.

"It's my pleasure to welcome the development of the Hard Rock Hotel and Residences at Lake Texoma. This will provide even more opportunity for guests to visit this beautiful area and create huge economic opportunity for this community," said Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt.

The hotel will be the second Hard Rock location in Oklahoma, after the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tulsa, located in Catoosa.

Road Trip AUgust

A Inuyasha, Legend of Zelda, Swtor, World of Warcraft, Wildstar, Urusei Yatsura, and Fairy Tail crossover for @promptsbytaurie event AUgust 2024 day 8 road trip AU, featuring my original characters.

A group of families from New York are on a road trip across the USA. The first stop on the road is Hocking Hills in Ohio, and the families park their RVs at the camp site. The younger children run to play in the playground as their older siblings and parents set up the camp, with Inuyasha, one of the fathers, moving a table with his daughter Moroha as his wife Kagome get the food ready.

At their camp site, Charlotte Hyrule hold her phone up as she try to get a signal and she ask her mother Zelda while her father Link is put the heavy stuff up, "Mom, where can I get a signal for my phone?" and Zelda tell her older daughter, "Charlotte, the whole point of this trip is to not be on your phone." and Charlotte is spechless.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's young sister Sonia check out the camp with sisters Towa and Setsuna. The camp look nice and it has a swimming pool, but some parts of it look a little old.

At the Mirsan family camp site, the twin girls Kin'u and Gyokuto laugh about the green hair boy Kitaro Moroboshi as he try to start a fire for his little sister Nyoko and her best friend Nasha Dragneel. At the table, their younger brother Hisui is playing a card game with Michael Shan, Ash Dorne, Petra Spar, Kevin Piece, Max Revel, Samson Cadera, and Tao Yaza.

At his family RV, Gramakk the orc read a guide on Hocking Hills as his wife Zanawe put their son Kokdutu to bed.

The next day, the families get ready for a day in Hocking Hills, with Juliasa making sure that her teenage daughter is okay and to not act like her father Crual.

On the park, the families travel around the sites and the girls take selfie of themselves in nature.

Back at the campsite, the adults make plans on where to go next and Inuyasha said to them, "Why don't we travel on Route 66?" and the adults look at each other about the idea.

Soon, by the morning light, the RVs travel on the famous Route 66, starting at Chicago, Illinois. The families first explore the famous sites at Chicago for three days before they hit the road again. While traveling in Illinois, they see the Gemini, the town of Springfield, and Dixie Travel Plaza.

The RVs arrived at Missouri, and they see the World's second largest rocking chair in Fannig, Red's Giant Hamburg, 66 Drive-In, and Ted Drewes on their journey.

The RVs arrived at Kansas, where the families visit Baxter Spring Independent Oil and Gas Service station, drive through Rainbow Bridge, and visit Williams' Store as well Kan-O-Tex Service Station.

The RVs arrived at Oklahoma, where the families visit Blue Whale of Catoosa, Pops restaurant, Round barn, Milk Bottle Grocery, Rock Cafe, and Foyil Filling Station.

The RVs arrived at Texas, where the families visit the Leaning Tower of Britten, Cadiliac ranch, The Big Texan Steak Ranch, and U-Drop Inn.

The RVs arrived at New Mexico, where the families visit Blue Swallow Motel, El Rancho Hotel & Motel, and Maisel's Indian Trading Post.

The RVs arrived at Arizona, where the families visit Wigwam Motel, Standin' on the Corner Park, Jack Rabbit Trading Post, and Meteor City.

The RVs arrived at California, the last stop of Route 66. In California, the families visit Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch, Cucamonga Service Station, Aztec Hotel, and Los Angeles.

In the Los Angeles hotel, the adults start their plans for the road trip back home and the locations to visit.

Route 66 begins in Chicago, Illinois and ends in Santa Monica, California, crossing eight states in between:

• Illinois: The starting point of Route 66, which was chosen because Jackson Street was one of the few downtown boulevards without a streetcar line

• Missouri: Part of the route

• Kansas: Part of the route

• Oklahoma: Part of the route, and home to the Blue Whale of Catoosa, a famous landmark

• Texas: Part of the route

• New Mexico: Part of the route

• Arizona: Part of the route

• California: The ending point of Route 66 in

Santa Monica
