Finally got a good pic of Indian Head Rock east of Binger, OK. Stopped by the Ft. Supply cemetery and paid my respects. Lot of history in Western Oklahoma you don't really hear about. 'Civilization' was basically brought to the western part of the state by land run and lottery, around the start of the 20th century, by people who couldn't make it somewhere else. But their descendants made damn sure you knew THEIR family came there in 1901 and settled this country. My family got moved over into what is now Oklahoma in the mid-1800's and my ancestors were born on that land before those people ever showed up with their plows and caused that dust bowl. I do have to admire folks who load up everything and move to a strange land and actually carve out a living, but I never liked having it waved in my face every day.

I have some great memories from living in Oklahoma. My daughter was born an Okie. I miss seeing the rose rocks, roadrunners and horny toads!:laughing7: I learned to bass fish in Oklahoma. I have fished many, many lakes there but Eufala has a special place in my heart. #9 Landing was the spot we always went camping at on Lake Eufala. Thank you for posting pics from there and jogging my memory!

Oklahoma had been settled and civilized LONG before that land rush by people whose lands had been stolen and they had been moved by force to the "territory".
