If we wait on Okiebug, we'll find out if the camper/river idea will pan out.

I suggested Lake Thunderbird because I think someone lives in or near Shawnee, but I know little about the lakes here. Tenkiller is closer for ya'll coming from AR, but not sure it would work for everyone here.

Lake Thunderbird is a muddy brown snake infested lake. Tenkiller is very clear and clean, much better, in my opinion.I told softheart. She is excited. She said she will log on when she has a free minute. I need some dates. I may be out of town. Just let me know.

Se, you know the Lakes better than me.

I wouldn't even mind if we just found a nice picnic area.

I still like river fishing better, but will go wherever we all decide on.

What about Lake Eufaula?
When I first came to OK, I was told fishing there is great and it's really a big lake.

Tenkiller is much farther a drive, I think
Vian is closer to Sallisaw and I don't want to spend most of my day driving.

I'd still like to keep this gathering somewhere between OKC and Tulsa and or the Norman area.

Ummm... muddy brown snake infested??? Will I sound like too much of a girly-girl if I let out a huge "Eeeuuuwwww!!!"

Reminds me of when I lived in the Sanford FL area, really close to lake Jessup. That lake had more alligators in it than anywhere else in the world, per square mile. Lake Jessup fed right into Lake Monroe, which I lived next to. Have to say, I did have some whoppers of nightmares thinking about things crawling their way out of those lakes.

Does anyone oppose Lake Eufala? It's an hour or so south of Tulsa, and it's about 2 hours east of OKC. I know there's a State Park out there, in Checotah I think. There's also lodging from what I remember.

There's also Keystone State Park, which is only about an hour and a half from OKC, and about 30 min from Tulsa. I don't think the fishing is so great there, but it's a very convenient location, and they have a little meeting building I might be able to rent for a discount.

JAGG, we are talking about the first Sunday in June from what I gather. Is everyone cool with that? APG, you're welcome to crash on my couch in Tulsa if you'd like to come down the night before. I have a brand new oven you're welcome to use as well for prepping your snackies. :-)

I asked around at work today and even though it's in OKC, most everyone said the fishing is great at Lake Overholser along with wonderful picnic areas. The fish this lake has is, Black Bass, Sand Bass, Catfish, Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Crappie, Walleye and Saugeye.


My boss recommended Chickasaw National Recreation Area. She said it had something for everyone and thought we'd all enjoy it. So, does anyone know this place? The way she described this place to me, made me want to pack my bags and spend the summer there, lol. I'm not sure where it is or how long it would take us to get there.

Just me putting more suggestions out there to make our choices even more difficult to make.

Why oh why hasn't Okiebug chimed in.

Okiebug did PM me back and let me know the 1st weekend in June is good.

Chickasaw looks gorgeous, but it's like 3 hours from Tulsa.

I haven't had a chance to google it and see where it was. I suppose 3 hours sucks unless you're camping for the weekend there.
My boss said it was a fabulous place and that no matter where everyone was coming from, she promised it would be worth it. Did I mention, she's American Indian and proud of that place.
Her and her husband have fished there and gone exploring.
I'll have to put it on my list of places I want to see in OK.

[WolfyOne]

I also want to go see Turner Falls because it has the biggest waterfall in OK

All I need is to find someone with Sundays off and wants to go exploring
It'll help if I can find them in OKC

There's a whole lot of beautiful in OK

Fishing at Keystone sucks. Most times, all I ever caught was a snag and lost my bait, in fact my whole darn set up
The only pretty thing is the dam and all the nature that surrounds it.
