Saturday afternoon I went geocaching all by myself on Turkey Mountain. Sweetie had things to do at the Tulsa Garden Center and SuperPizzaBoy was visiting a friend.
So off on the trail I went.
Turkey Mountain has a wild wooly history. An old oilfield and moonshiners hangout. Lots of relics that I don’t understand.
Old campsite for “Occupy Turkey Mountain” maybe?
Anybody need basic transportation.?
Enough about the “things” on Turkey Mountain. Lets talk about the people. There is a pecking order on the mountain. Like the people below are strollers.
And above them, are the hikers.
And then above the hikers are the trail runners.Trail runners are very cool people. They have a lot going for them
And then of course at the top you have Geocachers, such as the lady below. Sophisticated and Classy, the two most common adjectives applied to geocachers. Surely you agree.
Sorry, I got off track. I did find something interesting. I didn’t know it before but I evidence of the little people on Turkey Mountain. Fellow geocacher M5 reported on them earlier. I knocked but nobody was home.
I also found myself in a situation that no old fat guy ever wants to be in. Can’t go down!
Can’t go up!
The Little People were no help.
Thanks M5 for another two great caches in Turkey Mountain.
I wore my fancy schmancy Garmin watch during my hunt. Below is the track. If you hit the green button it takes you to the Garmin website. Hit the play button and you can see the route I traversed.
Neat. It shows your speed and elevation as well as location. You made pretty good time.
Oh, you do have fun, don’t you!! I love it! Always look forward to a report of your latest Geocaching adventure! A great way to wind down my day! Hope you have a good day tomorrow!

It looks like a placed to get lost in thought; or just plain lost it you forget your GPS.
So sorry the little people weren’t home. I’ve only spotted them a time or two. Your trail looks a little wobbly.
I liked the walker on the mobile .. amazing to me to get reception out in the ‘wild’ ..
What a lovely day in the woods. Cute door!
Love the little door in the tree! So cute! Josiah went biking on Turkey Mountain one day. Couldn’t believe how beat up he was when he got home. I suppose walking is the safer method of transport in the wilds!
Sounds a fun adventure, love the little people door. The little people might have been scared to answer your knock on their door to greet what they think is a giant. Thanks for sharing your day in the woods. Have a great week!
That sure seems like fun hike thru the woods – and that little door is quite a find!
That is surely great fun! Kudos to the mind who put the door on that ‘little peoples’ entrance, whoever he is. I envy the climate you are in, cause you can traverse a wide area without much difficulty, here where temperature and humidity are both high, even without clothing we can’t move fast enough, we get tired fast and need more water often! Besides, the surroundings are not that clear, it is easier to get lost.
I really like the fairy house door. Made me smile. 🙂
This brought to mind my last geocaching adventure in Connecticut–right down to walking through time in the form of abandoned stuff–buildings, roads, foundations–I guess this is how entire epochs wind up under the sand. Because while it’s going on what else are you going to do with it since it’s not old or rare enough to be worth something? You have me thinking, too.
I love the route you shared. I like where you can tell you were looking for the caches. I need to get me one of those watches.
That watch is very cool. Enjoyed reading about your day. I was just curious if you got hurt rolling down the hill the get that 11:45 min/hr? J/K
You do have a couple more to get out there though!!!
One can only wonder about some to the relics up on the mountain. The automobile remains are a mystery that I would love to know the story behind. Thanks for taking us along.
Very cool, Yogi! Your post was so entertaining! I am familiar with geocaching and am glad you found two good caches on the mountain. I also loved the Little People tree!
very interesting walk on turkey Mt. Lot of neat stuff along the way.
A friend once said you had a picture of the exact location of a geocache you were searching for–and I can attest that the exact location is indeed in the picture.
