Remembering Oklahoma's Turner Falls Park


A Microsoft OneDrive Memory from this Day, which I do remember, and also remember that this memory could have happened on this day.

I know it was an extremely HOT summer day, near the start of the current century, or near the end of the previous century.

This photo was taken my first time visiting Turner Falls Park, in the Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma.

That is me on the left, Big Ed on the right. I think we are sitting on stone benches outside the structure known as the Castle of Turner Falls.

Using the search function on the blog, I entered "Turner Falls" and found out I have blogged multiple times about the Turner Falls location, with the most recent a blog post posted Friday, August 30, 2013, titled Pondering A Labor Day Weekend Visit To Turner Falls Park In Oklahoma With A Stop For Coffee At WinStar World Casino.

I see in the various blog posts I have links to webpages on my now long dead Eyes on Texas website. Ironically, whilst that website was still alive the Turner Falls Park pages, got the most hits and generated the most AdSense revenue.

I do not know how close I currently am to Turner Falls. Oklahoma is only about 20 miles to the north. Turner Falls is northeast of my current location. When I lived in the DFW zone Turner Falls was due north, and it was way more than 20 miles to the Oklahoma border.

I would not mind taking a day trip to Turner Falls. It has been several years now since I have seen any scenic mountain scenery....
