Coming in from AR, I have a drive anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me, as long as it's not a lot further west from OKC.

I will leave the deciding to you guys, since I really don't know much about OK. (being a NE Cornhusker fan, I usually just stayed away from your state! LOL)

APG, ducking!

Who are they? LoL That's a funny name for a team.

I have a 4 door pick up (snall back seat) and can pick someone up for car pooling. The mall in Shawnee is a great place to park. Its easy to find and get on and off of the highway.

Sportsman Lake
 

OK, there is a place called Sportsman Lake Recreation Area just outside of Seminole. This would be about an hour and a half from OKC and 2 hours from Tulsa.

Check out the website, and let me know what you think. They have a pavilion with water and electric, and plenty of fishing spots around the lake. I thought of this place because I've been to a retreat nearby at St. Crispins, which was beautiful, but I have never been to the lake.

If you're willing to drive 2 hours from Tulsa, you might already come to OKC and Lake Overholser.
Should we get out of towners that want to come and spend a weekend, there is a Motel 6 nearby that is not to old and has a swimming pool, decently priced. It may be an easier way to draw others to OK this way.

True, I have someone to stay with in the City at least!

So the out of state people need to speak up on a location they would like. If anyone wants to car pool with me, we can meet before then so you will know I am not a freaky werido.

I also wanted to ask is this going to be an adult females only event? What about family members and children?

my vote...
 

I vote no kids. That way we can have grown up conversations! :winky:

This is sounding like fun! It would give me an excuse to get to OK City to see Wolfy! Count me in! (well hopefully i can work it out)

I think we could still have adult conversation and have children there.

When I did Wichita, kids were welcome and I brought the boy child then (18 and adult, now living in another state near his mom). He spent his time fishing until he had a fish so big on his line, it snapped his pole and he lost it.

So, I'm good with or without children there. After all, I am a big kid myself, most days. Too bad the adult has to come out in me to go to work, lol.

Kerrie, those of you coming from AR could carpool and if you come out the night before, ya'll could share a room at the Motel 6 and I would come visit and we could go swimming...perhaps with enough of us, take over the pool for a couple hours.


Looks like we have 3 maybes from AR

This could turn out great if we ever figure out where we'll do this.

OK, so it sounds like Lake Overholser in OKC works. I'll likely be down the night before, so if you don't mind me taking over the pool with y'all, I might come join you!

Do we know if there is a pavilion or area where we can have our potluck?

I don't mind kids as long as the parents of those those kids keep them in check. I am not into having to act a certain way because kids are around. I respect those in our community that have kids but I am not into changing who I am because I don't.

Wolfy, June 3 is fine for me. Another suggestion is that we may be able to gin a spot to camp at instead of renting a hotel room. I will check out the link that you provided!

I'm not liking this idea of having to get two fishing permits! What the hell is that?

The fishing license for a non-resident in oklahoma is $35.00 for 6 days. They do not sell 1 or 3 days license.
Also, if we go to a city lake there is an additional permit required. Im not sure about the cost though. The person that i talked to at the OK wildlife said that these permits should be sold at the lake.
I hope this information is helpful.
