we saw something that we hadn't
seen before. Coming over a large
hill, we saw a large body of water
shining in the sun. We sure took

dawned on us that that must be
the Cushing lake we had heard
so much about.
Its a pretty good size body of

was something like that around
here. Guess we have been to or
through Cushing 25 times in the
+Dast three years and have never
seen- anything like that.
