Friday was my day off, I was really off, Sweetie had some stuff that she needed to do, SuperPizzaBoy was in school so I had a day to myself. So off I took SPB to school, said bye-bye, pushed him out the door, and headed off to Osage County northwest of Tulsa to do some geocaching and sightseeing.<\/p>\n

I found 20 geocaches during some very lonely geocaching. Which is the best kind. I did make some new friends though. First up was this guy:<\/p>\n

\"20100521_21\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was lollygagging across the road so I helped him on across.<\/p>\n

Then this guy:<\/p>\n

\"20100521_22\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He wasn’t too talkative. He wouldn’t say a word or even show his face and he wouldn’t get off the road either. This country folks are plum ornery sometimes. So I had to move him off myself. (I guess that it is a him.)<\/p>\n

On my 19th cache attempt I met this fellow cacher:<\/p>\n

I never know what the proper geocaching etiquette is. Most geocachers I know want to find the cache on their own and don’t want somebody showing up and saying “here it is.” But how long do you wait for them? I mean, come on dude, crap or get off the pot! I have no idea what kind of snake this is but it is beautifully colored and blended in well with his surroundings. I bet somebody out there in My World land knows exactly what it is. I finally plugged and abandoned the cache, as us oilfield trash say, and moved on to the next one.<\/p>\n

Well I found 19 caches out of a 38 cache “power trail.” (Plus I found one other cache later) I had time to do them all but I had other stuff I wanted to do. I drove up to the Nature Conservancy’s Tallgrass Praire Preserve<\/a> near Pawhuska.<\/p>\n

\"20100521_26\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They bought a huge ranch several years ago and started managing the land using controlled praire fires. They also reintroduced Bison. The project has been a success. I found 5 groups of bison in my brief time there.<\/p>\n

\"20100521_45\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are beautiful animals.<\/p>\n

\"20100521_38\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were also birds and wildflowers<\/p>\n

\"20100521_50\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20100521_42\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, my favorite on a beautiful Spring Oklahoma day, huge skies.<\/p>\n

\"20100521_49\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They have a visitor center and lots to see but I want Sweetie and SPB along when I do that so we can discover it together. I just went for a taste you see.<\/p>\n

So, next stop is Woolaroc<\/a>. Woolaroc was Frank Phillip’s ranch, the founder of Phillip’s Petroleum. Woolaroc has a museum and a wildlife preserve. I went there because I wanted to see more critters.<\/p>\n

\"20100521_52\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw some white tail deer, some with their fawns:<\/p>\n

\"20100521_62\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20100521_53\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"20100521_65\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time, to head home. Tired but satisfied.<\/p>\n
