I went out to our land a few days ago where we do most of our riding. It is about 30 miles east of Oklahoma City and just south of old Route 66. We call it Camp Kickapoo, since the eastern border of the property is Kickapoo Creek.
I discovered that a very old and rotten Oak tree had fallen on one of my roads, breaking into two pieces and blocking it.

I did not have my chain saw with me, so I used a couple of tow ropes to drag them out of the way.

The high ground in the distance is where we do most of our riding and I spend a lot of time cutting new trails through the woods. I let my neighbor farm the bottom land. He has planted winter wheat this year that he uses for livestock feed.

That’s a deer trail leading to the pond.

This is Kickapoo Creek. It is about as low as I have seen it in the 5 years we have had the property. It’s been very dry here. The creek flows into the Deep fork River and eventually into the Arkansas River, and on to the Mississippi, so theoretically you could float all the way to the gulf of Mexico from my creek.

Here’s an old deer blind next to the creek and another one up on the high ground in the woods. Both need a little TLC. I found a 3rd one deep in the woods that had fallen completely down.

The previous owner of the land was an Asian guy, who planted Bamboo near the creek. It’s growing like crazy. All guests get complimentary cane poles for fishing. No Limit!
