This past week we had great weather. One day at lunch I sneaked off to the nearby suburb of Sand Springs to check out a geocache, or two at their River City Park right on the Arkansas River.

There was a lot of stuff to see on the way to the caches. The park has its own Rodeo Arena.

Complete with grandstands.

No horses in the grandstands though.

There is a bicycle BMX park also. It looks like loads of fun..

I did a little trespassing and got up on the levee. Strictly forbidden,

but officer I wanted to get some shots of the Gerdau Steel Mill. It has been shut down, as far as I can tell, since 2009. The place used to be bustling. Pretty sad.

I finally got close to the cache. It is called “Jesse James.” I am not going to spoil things by showing the cache location.

It is not named after the outlaw but a famous bucking horse. I googled and searched. There was a bucking horse of that name back in the early 1960’s that couldn’t hardly be ridden by anybody but I couldn’t close the loop with Sand Springs, Oklahoma nor Willie Mendell. Anybody out there know anything about Jesse James the horse?

I love mysteries like that.

Well anyways, I got back to my car after all my wandering around and guess what…

All was well with my (Kia) Soul.

Have you had any good walks lately?
