OCBR 16' Role Call.......

[Ksm]

He was a crazy country guy lol. I kinda of believed him when he was telling us about it at the time because he was so convincing the way he described his encounter. He said he was walking in the bottoms and came across them. He said they definitely weren't human and was like a mom and two younger ones, young adolescents lol. Man this sounds so crazy to retell this story. He said they stared at him and just looked, like they were frightened. We were on a job and this was at work while we were taking a break, so the boss and I were making fun of him and saying what the hell are you talking about, you're crazy. That's all I know ;D

That's a great story. Arkansas has some great tales involving the woods.
Do you know anything about the Gurdon Light? I was going to go try and find in on my drive to OCBR on Thursday night.

I also worked with a guy from Gurdon and a girl who went to see it with her friends. They both say it's real. I may be able to help you out and ask her where one would need to go to see it. I know that you have to get out and walk a ways down the track to reach it.

Sounds similar to this in NE OK and SW MO. My dad grew up in Nowata, OK and him and his brothers claimed to have seen it several times, as well as one North of Oolagah Lake. That would have been in the 60's.

It's fairly close to the of road park but then it's a 2.5 mile hike into the woods. Presumably at night. That might be a bit much even for me.

Ok good. I need some local stories. And WHY would you post a picture of me along with those deer?! The trail cam caught me before I put my makeup on! So embarrassing.

It will be good to see you again.

Same here. Gonna be a fun time here soon.

Riding these trails should be a lot easier the walking the one you just came off, which reminds me, how far did you end up walking over how long my friend %)

The official AT trail length this year is 2189.1 miles. I started 25 Mar and finished 2 Sept. Lots of additional miles getting into towns for food but that doesn't count.

I don't have a running bronco. If i drive over from Tennessee are 4 wheelers allowed at the park to get around and watch the hill climbs?

As far as I know, 4 wheel drive 4 wheelers with the proper safety equipment is acceptable. Check in with the park to make certain. There are always plenty of extra seats for additional riders though... probably won't need it.

I'll be there Thursday afternoon. Hell, I may drove out there today, if someone will keep an eye on my rig while I work tuesday and wednesday night.

I've seen it. It's pretty creepy. It was when I was 17, a buddy and I were headed out to Reader to deer camp. It was dead on midnight when we crossed the tracks. Just for giggles we stopped, and sure enough there was a light coming at us up the tracks. then it disappeared, and showed up again on the other side of the truck as if it passed right through us.

Oh that's awesome. Is it still a 2.5 mile hike to get out there?
