Stockton Rest Stop



     Every year we make a trip into Missouri to one of the lakes where there is a big reunion for Gramma Ruth's family at a shelter with lots of food and the lake in the background. This year it was at Stockton Lake on the 6th of June. Stockton lake is where the waters of Turn-back Creek make their journeys end- That is the creek some miles to the south on which the Kerr family had their beginnings, at Gum Spring. Grandpa and her used to always make the trip to the reunion from Oklahoma when they lived there, before Dad passed away. We had stopped this year for a break for Gramma when I did this quick drawing before we were ready to roll again. The drawing gives little indication of the heat that day- I know it was hot, but did not seem too bad at the lake. This house is in town on the main highway headed south to take you to the lake. It sits on the west side. I have no idea who owns or who lives in the little place, fairly neatly kept. If you are passing that way you may need to keep your eyes open to find it as I like to find the nondescript places that have seen some wear.
